Old and sticky....

I do like challenges which ask you to delve into all your old stuff and show it some love rather than leaving it to fester in a dark forgotton corner, but as I have, like all of us I'm sure, far too much stuff, when it's a open "something old" I often find it hard to make a decision what to use.  This was the case with this weeks' challenge at Just Add Ink, so I had a delve and found my mojo lost in the enormity of my old stash pile.... 

However, today, the new challenge at CAS-ual Friday's is out and as they want us to use stickers on our card, this helped me narrow my search somewhat!  I have tonnes of stickers, but haven't used any in an age, so a perfect combo of both challenges.

 
I used three old peel off stickers, the flower was a black and I stuck that to white card and coloured with polychromos pencils - the circle border and the sentiment were also peel offs but one was gold, the other was silver, but I coloured them both with a black copic to match the flower.  I used some yellow and red patterned DP to match the colour of the flower.


Peels off have fallen out of fashion somewhat, but I do think they are still a great product when used selectively.

  2. Fab card Tara, love delving into old stash and seeing how I can use stamps in a CAS way!

  6. You did a great job using stickers on your card. Even though their old, you've still made the card look very current. Glad you could join us at JAI this week.
