Shopping Our Stash Challenge: My Precious

It's Challenge #60 at Shopping Our Stash!  We're calling this challenge "My Precious". Use something you have hoarded that you never, ever, planned to actually use. Piece of pretty paper? Special embellishment? A piece of special ribbon or lace?
 





For my card I used a precious piece of card candy that I purchased over a year ago at a stamp workshop from a very talented and creative stamper.  It was difficult to do, but I am comforted to know I have three more pieces in the package which I can continue hoarding.

This card starts out with a white card base, then a layer in black.  Next up are two Pink Passion panels which were stamped with a sentiment from a TAC set called "Just A Cat" and then embossed with a Swiss Dots embossing folder.

So now it's your turn!  Take a deep breath and use something precious from your stash!  I'm looking forward to seeing your treasure on a card!


Off to stamp some more!

"card candy" is INDEED the exactly right way to describe this whole lovely and ♥FAB♥ card! the sentiment is perfect (or purrfect!) and you've "illustrated" it brilliantly!!
