Card No. 1: Use the darling elephant card from their daily details sheet and some of my favorite bright prints from the collection. For a finishing touch I added little cross-stitched red X's with some embroidery floss.
Card No. 2: This is actually the last of 6 cards I created and it was perfect for using up little leftover bits of scraps I had on hand from my other projects. I wanted to make this a birthday card, but I didn't have enough space or letters for the word "birthday" or "celebrate" so party is was! ;)
Card No. 3: My last card uses another card from the daily details sheet for my sentiment. I took inspiration from the little flower and created a grid design for my background by fussy cutting flowers from a sheet of patterned paper in the collection. I tried many different colors for my background and they all sort of felt flat until I tried the black--I love how it makes the colors pop! :)
Well, I have much more to come with a handful of layouts and more cards to share in the coming days. I challenged myself to stick with one collection and use up as much of it as I could and I gotta say it was a thrilling feeling to use up a small corner of my stash and get so much accomplished in the process!
