This week Our Theme is
USE SOMETHING OLD THAT YOU HAVE NEVER USED BEFORE.
and please tell us what the item is.
So, initially I struggled a bit with this, as anything I have bought, but never used, still seemed to me to be new. However, from what I can see, I think the challenge is something you haven't used before, or you haven't used it in a long time ago.
I used a spare bit of brown card and a piece of white card to make my layers. The white card was embossed using a "word embossing folder", then I aged if with gilding wax. My take on this challenge has also involved using some "New" stamps that were purchased about 10 years ago but have never been used. I also used some pages out of an old book. I used a butterfly die and cut it out of an old aluminium can. It was coloured with Spectrum Noir Pens, then I used embossing powder on it, then finished it off with wire feelers. I used a Marianne Flower die, (which I bought, then wasn't sure how to use) to cut out 2 sizes of flowers from the book page. I used, yellow, green and brown distressing inks to colour the flowers. Finished the flowers off using a little leave die and some old scraps of shiny paper. I also used some self adhesive paper lace on it, which I bought from a Lakeland Plastics sale and have never used before. All of the papers I have used have come from my box with all the left over bits and pieces in in. I finished my card off using a piece of ribbon cut from the inside of one of my t-shirts.
Here is my finished card.
