I think SCS should have a new challenge called "discarded backgrounds"....I would be doing that one every week! For this one I used what I think is a leftover distress bg...also used a butterfly brad that hasn't made it on a card for years! I have tons of brads which I liked using when I first stamped but I don't use much of late. I'm also trying to use more washi tape since I have rolls and rolls of it. This one just happened to have the perfect message for a Valentine.

What a cute little girl ~ that could have been me as a child, always with a book! Your background is very pretty ~ can't believe you hadn't used it yet!

Gorgeous bg, Polly, and you colored the perfect image to go with it. What a collection of pretty shades of pink. The bg has a very dreamy, soft feel to it. All the little details like the thin purple border on the image, the tiny butterfly, and the heart add up to one super card.

Polly I am with you there could be more challenges of using BGs from our stash and how about one of just using something in our stashed? I swear I could join that challenge every day! LOL Seriously this image is super adorable and the BG is so perfect for her. I am like you I hardly every use my brads any more so those should probably go in the use up pile but alas that pile is huge so I might need to add the brads next year. LOL!
