Use Your Stash Blog Hop - Something old with something new

Hi and welcome to my small part of the Use Your Stash - Something Old with Something New blog hop! Whew! That was a mouthful! If you came from Cherri Hardcastle's blog, you are on the right track!

I love blog hops and this one is no exception! When I saw that we were to do something old with something new this month, I immediately thought of the My Creations Star from Close to my Heart, but when I got mine out, I found it has been crushed! Rats! I will try to squish it back into some sort of shape and use it another time. So for this month, I created an Easter card using some old cardstock (Lucy) with our new(ish) silver Shimmer Trim!

 

I stamped the peep from the My Peeps stamp set on the tag in Slate dye ink and left it as is. I left the space at the top of the tag for a personal greeting. On the other tag, I used Sweet Leaf and Slate inks. I distressed the edges of the tags with Creme Brulee, then coloured the eggs on the front with various colours of our new alcohol pens and stamped the peep with Blush ink.

 



Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think. To see more fantastic creations, hop on over to Wendy Kessler's blog!
