More NBUS For Challenge #3

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Darnell, over at djkardkreations has really started my ball rolling, with her NBUS challenge #3 to be found here
http://www.djkardkreations.com/2015/01/happy-new-year-2015-nbus-challenge-3.html

 For those of you who do not know Darnell, or what NBUS means, you must be new on the blogging scene!

 Darnell is a fabulous, helpful and giving blogger who makes the most amazing cards.  NBUS is her acronym for Never Before Used Schtuff - which speaks for itself - I know that most of you, if not all of you, have purchaased stuff and never got round to using it, just like me.

 Anywho, this challenge of Darnell's just gave me the kick up the rear that I needed to get out of the Christmas shlump and encourage me to use some of that NBUS - which, believe me when I say, even if I made a card every day from these hidden gems, I still wouldn't catch up by this Christmas coming!

 This card's NBUS supplies were the Penny Black 'Bashful' die and the My Favorite Things, 'Simply Fabulous Sayings' stamp set.

 This is the card

The light was too poor to do a detail shot today.  Thanks for taking the time to drop by, I appreciate all your visits and comments and will reciprocate!  Have a great day,  Hazel x

    Hello Hazel,

    Your card is stunning and I just love the background colours, the little dots are perfect and remind me of droplets of rain on the flower.

    Gorgeous background Hazel ... the colours are so pretty together. And your little drops look pearly - so pretty! Beautiful die-cut that is perfect done in white so it pops against all the colour.

    Thank you for your sweet shoutout and kind words, Hazel! I'm delighted that I got your mojo juice flowing after the holidays with this gorgeous card and I really appreciate that you entered it in my third NBUS Challenge!

    Is your background sponged or watercolored? If it's watercolored, you should also enter it in the Happy Little Stampers watercolor challenge. Let me know if you need the website info. I see you doing a great job of visiting blogs and leaving wonderful comments, so you probably know about it. Okay, now get back there and get going on your entry #3!! Hugs, Darnell
