I loved the colors in todays CC, I'm back again with a card that will get in the mail this morning to someone who needs to know I remember. I am also posting this in the Crafty Secrets Challenge...hoarded treasures.
I began with a vv cs that I thumped in many different VersaMagic colors on the blooms. I used a cc~ese ink for the stems and leaves. The floral background had a run through the Cuttlebug with the 'birds and swirls' embossing folder. I really like the subtle texture this adds to any patterened paper! The rest of my card consists of hoarded stickers and funky loopy trim in a perfect sage shadow. I deckled the sentiment and then distressed further. I stapled the fiber onto the sentiment to get a good hold...this fiber has a tendency to ravel. It is mounted on pop dots. The postage in the upper corner is again, a hoarded sticker that I UTTE'ed many times. The whole panel was then mounted to cc .
I confess I'm really bad about just wanting to look at my pretties and not actually use them, and then NOT send them off...just because I want to look at them some more! It's good for me to write that out in front of all YA"LL...how 'bout you?

Sweet....I think you are in good company of "hoarders unite"..I'm definitely guilty of hoarding. Love the touch of the loopy fiber, it reminds me of the scallops that I so love.
