I had a rummage through my stamps and found a completely NBUS stamp set that I've had for years and years - it was a free subscription gift with a magazine and none of the stamps has ever seen ink. I've been adding up on my fingers and it must be at least 15 years old.
The snag is, it is really too pretty to work any snark into, so today my card is a snark free zone. I used DI to make the background, die cutting a square and randomly stamping flowers from the set over it, then used some of the waste to stamp the butterfly. The background card was stamped all over with the paisley style stamp from the set and the sentiment is stamped with a mag freebie stamp.

This is a fab use of those unused stamps sistah!
Love the colours, the flowers, the butterfly!!
Of course this card shouldn't have snark, it's way too pretty for it!
It's very pretty. I think I have some stamps with no ink either and I think, I should get rid of these, but I never do. LOL There was a reason I purchased them.
Very nice! Such a cool feeling to use stamps that have just been waiting! 15 years? That's awesome! Love your colors here.
