Hidden Treasures

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!
