Boy! Was this ever a convicting challenge! I've had this Feathered Friends stamp set for 6 years and have used one stamp once! So, this chair got to taste ink for the first time today.
I dug in my closet and found the Ivy Background. Haven't used it years, and can't remember when it retired.
I don't know about you, but Glorious Green is a color I rarely use. I think I used it for my son's 1st birthday party 5 years ago on his invitations - LOL!
I searched until I found my bag of decorative edge scissors and used one of those to trim the white cardstock.
I've had these clear buttons for a year and just cracked the seal on them this morning! For shame!
And I used Staz-On to stamp part of the Ivy on a button. I opened that ink pad over a year ago and thought it smelled awful, so I closed it up again! I decided to endure the smell and actually use it today, hehe.
I've had the linen thread for a year, too. Think I used it once, but can't remember for sure.
And finally, my poor pastels have been hardly touched since I got an aquapainter last year. So, I decided to use those to color the chair.

Nice card...that stamp set looks great with that BG and I love how you used the button! I tend to hoard mine for Scrapbook use only! But hey maybe I will branch out!

What a fantastic card!! Feathered Friends was one of my very first sets. I use it to make sets of cards for gifts. Your coloring is wonderful, and I love your embellishments!
