Anyway, as soon as I thought of starting this weekly thing, I knew which stamp I'd have to use first. For some reason this sweet little girl has been sat waiting to see ink for about 2yrs... shame on me!
So as you probably know, this stamp is Daisy from Sugar Nellie, coloured with a combination of flexmarkers, promarkers and koh-i-noor pencils. The papers are from a free MME pad that came with a magazine ages ago, with cardstock from Papermill Direct. The sentiment is Personal Impressions, swirl cut with a sizzix die, butterflies cut with a Stampin' Up die, tab cut with a Stampin' Up punch and embossed with a Stampin' Up embossing folder. Pearls, lace and shimmery button all from my stash.
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- Papertake Weekly - anything goes + optional something new (don't think I've used anything new though, sorry!)
- Flutterby Wednesdays - open challenge
- I Love Promarkers - buttons & lace
So this is just a little 'for fun' challenge to get me using all those poor forgotten stamps, but if anyone would like to join in with me, please leave me a comment and I'll come and see what dusty stamp or digi you've used :o) I'll add a linky next week if there are a few of you joining in. Just for fun, no prizes, although I might do the occasional little giveaway - we'll see how it goes!

How you left this adorable image out of a project is unbelievable, but boy was it worth the wait! ;) Such a cute image and colored beautifully! Terrific layout and the papers are perfect. Good luck with your craft resolutions it sounds like something I should do instead of buying new stuff! And a big thanks for playing with us at Flutter By Challenges.

Hi Lisa
Daisy is one of my favourite stamps .. .. I just love to colour her.
Now you have inked her up I bet you will use her loads.
Thanks for the lovely comment you left me on my news.
Love Jules xx
Amazing Lisa - you're so clever. I love the image and colours. Jxx
A gorgeous card Lisa, it reminds me that I have so many uninked stamps..... :o)
Jackie xx
I was only thinking the other day I must use Daisy again as she is one of my faves. This card is gorgeous. Love the boy card below too, the bright colours are lovely. Great idea re using old stamps. We get carried away with using our new ones.
so stunning lisa.i love this daisy image but for some reason never bought her and now its too late.love the yummy papers and design too :D
xx coops xx
This is adorable, what a gorgeous image, and your colouring is wonderful!
Today I have used an image I coloured a year ago, and have used it for my DYSU card as it fits the theme of Let it Snow! I too need to use some of my unused stash, I keep meaning to go through my stamp boxes and pull out everything I haven't used yet!
Hi Lisa, what a fantastic idea. I think many of us are guilty of indulging and then not using or using very little... I have used a house mouse stamp today that has never seen ink. I have used the top one from the sheet lots but never the bottom one. Don't know why as it's equally fab. I will try to join in with you waste not wednesday idea as it will do me good to work through some old stash! Best wishes for the New Year!
Oh WOW Lisa, this is an absolutely beautiful card honey!! So pretty and girly and I love the DP's too. I also have this stamp and I'm ashamed to say I've only ever used her once!! She's sooooo pretty though, love your card honey :o)
Hugs,
Cazza

it's a shame she took so long to see ink but I'm sure she's happy now, lol! Your coloring is amazing - I'm new to your blog so not sure if those are pencils or markers but fabulous job none the less. I'm so glad you joined us at FBW this week as your creation is just beautiful!
Good luck in your quest!
I would say i could open a shop with all the items I own however making cards takes me a long a time as well because i never have quite the right image, embellishment, paper...etc,etc!
Love your card, papers, beautifully coloured image, embellishments, in fact everything.
Thanks for joining Papertake Weekly.
Jenny
Oh Lisa.... this is stunning! I'm reaching for the Sugar Nellie website straight away.... but for some reason hanging back cos I have a niggle at the back of my mind that i just MAY possess it already!! But you've done a superb job.... LOVE this card!
And.... from what you read above, I too have lots of rubber that's not seen ink....so I'd join in!
Hugs
Christine x
Eeeeek I haven't got her and I can't find her to buy! Help!! Do you know where I can find her from?
Hugs
Christine x

Love this card, I do love daisy she is one of my fav SN stamps, and I love the colours that you have used, gorgeous gorgeous card!!
Hugs Juls
