This title explains my card for today which I'm taking along to Shopping Our Stash for their current challenge which as always encourages the use of items already in the stash to make cards for their various themes. You may have guessed that the theme is **a tall slim card**. I've been digging deep for this one and the tree stamp used dates back to 2009 from Elusive Images which is now known as Chocolate Baroque although I don't know if the set is still available. I produced the background piece using a geli plate and some Distress Ink pads which I've had for more years than I care to count - most of them still work too which is great. The sentiment stamp is not quite that old but, again I've had this set for a few years, also still going strong even though it was a freebie given with a magazine.. Why not go 'shopping your stash' - you could get a nice surprise at what you unearth 😉

Another fab gelli plate background, and a great image for your tall card. It’s lovely you’re shopping your stash and discovering old friends xxx
ReplyDeletethis tall beauty is a great sympathy card! I found a collection of beads the other day while sorting through my stash, so of course I'll have to use some soon :) Great find in your goodies for this card :)
ReplyDeleteI love this background! It's really beautiful and your tree looks wonderful stamped in black against it. Thank you for Shopping your Stash with us this time. x
ReplyDeleteI have this set too Val, although to my shame I can't remember the last time I used it!
ReplyDeleteGreat background though and the tree looks wonderful. x
What a lovely card. I've had my gelli plate out this week too, but made something altogether different from a card. Love your soft background and the striking tree on top. Brilliant! xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card. I love the yellow textured background and the lovely tree that you found in your stash! Thank you for joining us for this challenge at Shopping Our Stash and look forward to seeing you again soon!

This is a set from CB that I don't have, but I always admire the look of these elegant and stylish trees, and using just this on on a DL card works beautifully Val..I love the gelli plate background too. x
