Facebook Design D.I.V.A.S. February Oldies But Goodies Blog Hop

It is time for another Facebook Design D.I.V.A.S. "Oldies But Goodies" Blog Hop!  This newly formed group of very creative papercrafters has designated the third Wednesday of each month to dust off our toys, tools, and techniques that haven't been used for awhile (read: a long time!).  I, for one, have been happily reunited with all sorts of fun craft supplies.  Before I show you my card, let me just mention that I am number 6 on the blog hop.  If you came here from the awesomely talented Sue Walsh you are on the right path.  To start at the beginning you will want to visit Brenda Turner. 

This month I became reaquainted with another of my brass stencils for this card:

I dry embossed this beautiful heart and flowers stencil by Dreamweavers.  The paper is canvas style Core'dinations with a white core.  After I dry embossed I sanded the surface to bring out more of the core.  Then I cut it out with the Labels Sixteen Nestabilities die and sanded the embossed border.  The ivory lace on the left side is another oldie but goodie.  It was in a bag of antique laces I picked up at a local antique shop.  The flowers are a mix of Prima and mini-roses from the bridal department at Michael's.  Leaves are MS punch along with pearls and a charm. 

Hmmm, stencils and Core'dinations paper..... nice combination!

Thanks for stopping by today! Feel free to leave a comment, and be sure to move on to visit the lovely and talented Cindy Grigiski.  Enjoy the rest of the blog hop.  I hope we have you digging out your oldies but goodies, too!
