Using Your Brads

Hiya!

Today i have a card to share that that features Brads!! I don't know about you, but i have a ton!! I find i don't use them much, but the other day i set out to use as many as i could! I also used the current challenge at The Alley Way Stamp's Blog for my inspiration.

As you can tell in my card below i didn;t use the white of the photo, but instead was inspired by the dots. First i found a left over die cut heart and i lightly traced it twice on my pattern paper. Then with my pencil i added dots to the heart, this is where i pierced the holes. Once that was done i erased my lines and added the brads. Luckily i just had enough of  each color to make my hearts!

Next i found some tan and white poka dot paper, i stamped the little bird on it and also die cut a banner from it.

I stamped the sentiment on the banner. Then colored and cut out the little bird. I adhered both over the brad hearts with foam dots. Last i adhered the whole panel to my cardbase.

I hope this inspires you to use your brads!! Thanks for stopping by!!
