Alternative use for stickers...

I have had a sheet of Basic Grey Euphoria element stickers forever and knew i wouldnt use them as they were just too 'pretty' iykwim!(flowery strip 5th from the right)...

I searched high and low for something to use on my 'i never thought...' layout - you know when you want something but youre just not sure what? Well, i turned over the flowery sticker strip and covered it in fine black glitter. Raised pads on the patterned side meant i could bend the strip making it perfect for what i had in mind :)

I have so many stickers that have been sitting never to be used but now im seeing them in a whole different 'sparkly' light ;) It means some saved pennies and gets more of those ' what the heck do i use this for' stickers used - we all have them admit it!! :)

  3. Great use for the stickers that we all have laying around bought 'on the spur of the moment and with prettiness in our eyes'.

  12. I had a go at this with some strange Basic Grey sticky backed chipboard and it worked like a dream. (Can't show the layout on my blog yet but when I can I'll link people back to here!) Thanks so much for the inspiration :)
