I found a fun new blog called Use It! Challenges. It's hosted by Rae Barthel, a former DT member at 2 Sketches 4 You. Each week there's a new challenge designed to help you use up your supplies--scraps, hoarded items, forgotten embellies, etc. A fun twist is that the winner each week gets to choose the next challenge.This week's challenge comes from Danni: use spring colors, at least 4 flowers, and a tag on your card. I used a vellum tag, something I've had forever and rarely use, along with a mini flower punch I've used only once or twice. Unfortunately the sentiment didn't photograph well, but it says, "So glad we're friends." This card will be for a friend at work who loves purple (and my cards).
Stamps: Best Yet (SU)
Paper: Lavender Lace, Certainly Celery
Ink: Lavender Lace
Accessories: Nestabilities scalloped circles, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots, vellum tag (SU), flower punch, rhinestones (The Paper Studio), rhinestone swirl (Prima)

I love the card, and I love the "use it up" idea -- I've been trying so hard to do that with my beads, challenging myself to use something from my current stash before using something from the NEW stash.
Again... love the bling flourish. Definitely becoming a signature of yours!
Beautiful!! Love the bling and the purple!
