Using up the Stash

Don't you just love it when a colour challenge comes along and you get to use stuff that's been sitting around for years, gathering dust? I could have made a whole set of cards and scrapbook pages using this week's colour challenge at CR84FN:





Since I have 2 boys, half my stash is made up of these colours. The wooden label has been around for at least 3 years, as have the Stamping Up rubons, spotted paper and the Kaisercraft wooden leaves.  I inked the edges of the label and added the rubon, together with the fussy cut flower from MME. The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse. Because, let's face it, I seem to be completely incapable of making a card without one of those stamps! I ended up using this week's Mojo Monday's sketch (#259) for a bit of inspiration, although I have altered it a bit.

Thanks for stopping by but don't go yet as I've got another one to show you....
