Hello Everyone and welcome to
Technique Tuesday here at Shelly's Images!
Today I don't really have a 'technique or tutorial' for you, but rather an interesting little piece of information that I thought you'd enjoy and could use.
While in the process of using the last sticker on a pack of K&Co. 'girly' stickers I discovered a HIDDEN TREASURE.
On the backing sheet of the package (seen here) ...
was this beautiful plaid pattern. Instantly I thought "WOW, that would make a great backing for my card!" so that's exactly what I did. I also used the plaid strip I had cut off the end ... added it to some solid pink cardstock and made this decorative panel.
Here's my finished project! WOW! Talk about a quick & easy creation ... and I didn't loose time trying to decide what paper to use that matched my focus image!
So ... my message to you today is:
Before you toss it in the trash,
look at it with an open mind and ask yourself ...
Can I use this in another way
other than what it was designed for?
If you have had this 'revelation' happen to you,
we'd love to hear about it!!
Happy Crafting Day!
