As soon as I saw this week's
Shopping Our Stash Challenge - buttons, blooms and bananas - I knew what I wanted to make and, barring the sentiment, it's all neglected stash. I went to Make It at Farnborough last year and was really pleased with a set of clear stamps - the name on them is G Studio - stalk and 2 flowers that I bought for £1. I had all sorts of ideas for using them but you guessed it, they've been languishing in the drawer unused. I just used the stem from this and the flower stamp is from an Elusive Images set that I've not used for ages. The button is from my button tin and the flower is really cool. A few years back a quilting friend showed me how to use a metal template (this was a charm I think) with a soldering iron to cut out shapes from nylon organza. Great idea but the flowers have been maturing in the stash too:). Hope you like my clean and simple card.
