Getting Serious about using Stuff

This blog was started to hold me accountable for my accumulation of  card making supplies.
Over the years, collecting stuff was truly enjoyable, but now I need to really focus on using all of these pretty things.

For me, the hardest part is designing a layout. Otherwise, my cards may all look the same. So I found CAS(E) this Sketch which is a weekly challenge, and the fact that the cards need to be clean and simple is a challenge for me as well. SO, I will see how this might just work for me. Just maybe, I could create a card in a day, instead of taking several days for ONE card. You don't know this, but I am a very slow card maker.....

Here is this week's sketch #315

Here is my card:

I used the Bouquet Builder stamp set from Waffle Flower. It was colored with Copic markers and I wasn't real thrilled with the way it looked so I added more color with Luminance pencils.  I still need some practice which is the part that I enjoy....always learning something new. It was cut out with a Scan-n-Cut. (a wonderful Christmas present).
The cardstock is artichoke green, black, and white. Other sweet supplies are an embossing folder (dotted lattice from Taylored Expressions), rectangle die, green organdy ribbon, and Nuvo aqua shimmer glitter on the flower (must have glitter on a flower).

So far so good, I think.
Three cards in one week is VERY good for me to use my stuff!

Hope you make something pretty with your supplies today.
