Use What You Have Wednesdays on Sweet Stamp Shop

Hello, SWEET peeps! Welcome to another Sweet Stamp Shop's Use What You Have Challenge! It's Jessi here and I will be joining you for the upcoming Use What You Have Challenges!

I love this kind of challenge! I tend to forget about my stash items! (I store them in a different room!) Needless to say, I was excited to hear that I would be joining you all for the Wednesday challenge! I have come across a number products that I forgot I even had!

 Today's challenge -- Use What You Have Challenge #7:

As I was digging through my stash boxes, I came across some Valentine Day flair buttons that matched wonderfully with Sweet Stamp Shop's Happy Bugs! The ideas were rolling, so I go to gather my supplies!

To start of the card, I planned on using the ladybug from the Sweet Stamp Shop's Happy Bugs and coloring the image with the same colors as the flair button. The ladybug image is stamped 3 times on a strip of cardstock that I planned on running down the left side of the card.

My original plan was to have a card with allot of empty white space. Once I started to lay it out, I thought the card needed more color. So off I went to look at my papers. Once I found the perfect papers, I attached the layers.

The final steps included making the simple sentiment banner and adding the flair button to the card.

 Now it is your turn! Go through your stash and see what you can come up with! We cannot wait to see your creation(s)! Be sure to read the details below and link up your card on the Sweet Stamp Shop's blog--HERE!
