Hi! This card was made for today's Ways To Use It Challenge: Supply Me. Participants were to use some sort of Office Supply/tool on their cards.
About 3 years ago, while searching for a 18 pack of crayons... (Not a 12 or 24... NOOOOOO...that teacher INSISTED upon an 18 pack), Markie and I finally ended up in a Staples on the other side of town. Have I mentioned that we live in Jacksonville? You know, Jacksonville, FL? The city so large it is the COUNTY? The LARGEST land mass city in the contiguous United States??? So, when I say the other side of town, it means the other side of the county...and there are bridges involved....So you understand that 18 crayons in a package was soon to be made by taking 6 out of a 24 pack and crossing out the 24 and writing in 18 with a Sharpie! But, I am rambling....T
The store had a bin of extra small clips, paper clips and thumbtacks on the checkout counter. I sorted through them and decided I wanted the clips. I asked the clerk what they were used for and she said Doctors' offices used them for charts....I've since seen them in the Stampin' Up! Catty! LOL!
The images were stamped on white cs and embossed in black. They were colored in with Copics and cut out. I stamped the background in Memento Rich Cocoa with the Birds and Vine background and colored it in added Inkssentials highlights to the flowers.

I can just see you taking the crayons out of the box and mumbling something under your breathe. I think your little clip looks great on this card. I love how your flowers look.
