A Stampin'Up Collage

Once in  a while I like to pull out my old sets and really make use of them. Ever wonder what to do with that BIG daisy from the Sellabration sets a few years back.

Using the KISS method I inked the old BG set Ephemera with Choc chip, stamped it on the daisy rubber.....gave a huff and a puff then stamped it on sahara sand paper.

Other sets that were used included..

French script

Postal Carte

A Very Big Heart

...the choc chip scrap piece behind the sentiment was a  leftover scrap from a diecut image.

Hope this inspires you to get out your old stamp sets!
