BLASTS FROM THE PAST

Hi Playmates

I hope that you are all doing well and your week has got off to a good start for you.

I am on a mission to use up my old paper packs/pads that are taking up valuable space in my craft pod .. .. .. some of which only have a few pages left.  

My share today uses just one sheet from a very old paper pack and rectangular sketch one from my sketch library:


This used:

Backing Paper:  Papermania "Capsule Collection - Parisienne Blue"
Sentiment:  Unmounted Stamp Company "BD-FR-01 Word Frame" Circadesign.co.uk (very,very old)
Memory Box Dies:  "98261" Kaleidoscope Butterfly and "98262" Moonlight Butterfly
First Edition Craft "Nesting Stamp Dies"
Sizzix Thinlets Flower Dies - Tattered Florals:  661806
Ribbon
Hot fix Nailheads
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and Sketch One from my rectangular sketch library

So lots of old stash gathered together and used for this little creation and I think I have fallen in love with navy and gold as a colour combo.

    A beautiful card. It is sometimes quite satisfying to use up the remaining odd papers, I have so many. Elaine

    Blue and gold make a very elegant card Jules. I'm on a mission to try and use scraps at the moment, but they never seem to go down!

    Beautiful card Jules, lovely take on the sketch. I don’t think I’ll ever use up all my patterned papers, they seem to multiply on their own!
