Forgotten Stencils

 

I know exactly when I bought this delphinium flower stencil because I blogged about it in June 2016!

I tried it a couple of times with paste and spray paints, but never like the effect, so it sat at the bottom of a drawer, forgotten and neglected for 8 years.

Now, I have discovered it makes a lovely birthday card for gardeners using pink, purple and blue distressed oxide inks. Finished it off with a metallic purple dragonfly brad, that I have probably had for 8 years too!

Finished cat card

 

Following from my previous post - here is the birthday card with the cat face on it - this stamp is called Tabitha's Portrait by Anita and is one of my oldest and most favourite stamps.

It also featured on my blog 12 years ago and also in 2015 !

A little pack of cards

 

I picked up this little pack of 20 small cards with a green stripe down one side for only £1.20 and challenged myself to use them up asap!

So they became the central focus on several cards. They stamp well with either a sentiment or image

And the green stripe can be linked into the colour scheme

So I don't think it will take too long to use them all up
