Bit of a hodgepodge of reasons for this one.. hubby had a clear out a few days ago and there were 3 fabby cream brocade buttons that just had to be snipped off before the waistcoat went to the recycling. Those ribbons got me thinking.. I've never done an image card in nothing but my favourite brown tones so there was 2 things I wanted to do with it. Then on KennyKs challenge blog the theme is pocket cards and I havent really done one of those either. Next came a thread on one of the forums about feeling guilty about buying stash.. well I'd just sorted out my markers and had a pang of guilt of having a full set of polychromos that have been used so rarely I've not even needed to sharpen the flesh tones. So here we have it.Kenny K image coloured with just about every brown, yellow ochres and orange polychromo there is. My own nested shape cut with scal, vanilla grosgrain ribbon and ornament stamp & retired papers from SU. MS & SU punches, and flowers from wild orchid.

Its amazing when putting that all together you come up with a fantastic card. Great use of the buttons and I'm pleased your using your pencils! I have so much stash around here that I really need to use it all up before I buy anymore, but with all those lovely stamp, paper and embellie companies releasing new items all the time its crazy, I just wanna spend spend spend and then keep them all safe and untouched lol...
Love the layout and the papers are lovely, shame they are retired!
Thank you for joining us this week at KKKGs challenge! Good Luck.
