It's that lovey-dovey time of year! This week at Shopping our Stash we want to see your projects celebrating love or Valentine's Day. I figured that I would have a super-easy time with this challenge in terms of finding stash to use, because I haven't bought any new Valentine supplies (gasp! I know!). I think I may have outdone myself, though, because I found a piece of stash that pre-dates my making cards on a regular basis, which makes it about 12-13 years old.
Supplies: So much stash. Uh, white detail EP; Versamark; heart button from Dress it Up; random twine; Wilton doily; cuttlebug embossing folder...?
In a faux-faux patina binge after Christmas, I made a boo-boo. I was using different colours, this one intended to be mainly yellow & red - and got a big glob of Sapphire mist on it. And it was hideous. It didn't blend well, and I didn't notice soon enough to add more to make it work. So I didn't de-static the sheet, went heavy with the Versamark, and got this shabby background.
The ancient stash? That valentine from Suzy's Zoo! I vividly remember buying several boxes of them when I found them at a dollar store, and this must be the last one (or I've hidden the others REALLY REALLY well).
Come & play along with this challenge until next Monday, February 10th - hop on by & leave the rest of my teamies some love!
xoxo,
Jessi

I just happen to think that's an awesome background. And such a cutie-pie image!
ReplyDeleteGreat background! I recognized the Suzy's Zoo image right away...I used to buy those notecards from Current...so cute!
ReplyDeleteI bought Suzy's Zoo cards before I made cards, too...& I still have some! Thanks for the inspiration, Jessi & I love that background!
ReplyDeleteAww...what a CUTE and Happy card Jessi! Love the mouse with the rose so ADORABLE! Love it!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card, love the image and a great sketch.
ReplyDeletesuzy's zoo valentine??!?! holy moly, YEAH, you've soooooooo totally won the "stash wars" in a single stroke! the fact that you've made an AWESOME up-to-the-minute card out of it is just an amazing BONUS, missus! yowza! <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteTotally too cute Jessi!
ReplyDeleteIt was the shabby background that drew me to this card. How funny that it was a former reject. It is awesome! I used to buy old Valentine's to play with too but finally passed them on to someone with kids. I figure I have enough stamps..... yeah, probably I don't ever need to buy another Valentine's themed anything again. But I will!
ReplyDeleteThis card is seriously adorable! Love it!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love Suzy's Zoo?? Her characters always make me smile! I love the embossing. Great card!
