After a January break, the design team is back to creating at A Tiny Craft! This month, we are looking for you to create an artist trading card or coin with some NBUS on it. And what's NBUS? Coined by card queen Darnell, it stands for "never before used schtuff". Whether old or new, if you have stamps, dies, etc. that have yet to be put to use, we'd like to see them in action.
When I went looking, it didn't take long to find a stamp set that I've had for well over a year that is perfectly sized for ATCs:
Normally, I look to ATCs as a perfect way to use up leftover bits and pieces, but this time, it was a great excuse to finally ink up this cute little plant set from Studio Katia. I picked four of them to clear emboss on die cut note pages before watercolouring them. At least I used up some offcuts of patterned paper as backgrounds! Each one also got a bit of bling. A closer look at each one:
With my NBUS stamp use (and at Darnell's suggestion), I'm adding these to her February NBUS Challenge!
If you have some goodies that haven't quite made it onto a project yet, I hope you'll give our challenge a try - and why not link up with Darnell's fun challenge, too! 
Those teen tiny little plants are just perfect (and awesome) for ATCs!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable collection. Love how your base looks like a little mini notebook page.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable, nicely coloured and just enough bling to make them interesting. Great ATCs
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute, Lindsey! As you say, just perfect for an ATC and I love the notebook edging! Thank you for the great shoutout, mwah! I would love if the challenge could add a link to NBUS so folks can share there, too! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteYour little plant note cards are soooo cute! Love them!
