Hello everyone! I used the July 2020 Scrapping for Less Flavor of the Month Card kit to make 2 quick cards to play along with Kristie Marcotte's card challenge.  You can watch my full process video HERE.

The current challenge is to make a slimline card and then use the scraps from that card to make another card.

For my first card, I used the slimline sketch, SFL Sketch Challenge #7, from this month's sketch sheet.

I used the Tropical Fruit paper and stamp set from the July 2020 Flavor of the Month card kit.  I pieced 2 strips of patterned paper together across the middle of the card.  I stamped, watercolored and fussy cut out the pineapple embellishements.  Then I finished the card off with some Dandelion Yellow Nuvo Crystal Drops.

I made my second card using the scraps from my slimline card.  I pieced the patterned paper scraps together in a grid pattern to act as a card mat.  I stamped and colored another pineapple from the stamp set and added my sentiment.  I finished this card off with some 1/2 inch yellow circles from the yellow pattern I stamped my sentiment on for this card and my first card.

This challenge was a lot of fun and using the scraps for the second card was an actual challenge!  I hope you enjoyed seeing my cards!
