In addition to using the sketch below as inspiration, 75% of the product used must be from some of your oldest stash of supplies...the older the better.

 

This is my take:

What a fun sketch this was! I decided to rip my paper in the shapes of the 3 triangles and add on a bit of stenciling on the background paper. And I replaced one picture by a tag. 

While picking the products I was going to use, I looked through some of my older paper collections and found this one from BoBunny called 'Gabrielle'. It's 3 years old, so I will admit, not that old, but considering the amount of it I still own after 3 years, I figured that it would be a great choice for this challenge. I loved it so much when it came out that I think I bought 5-6 of each paper.

 For the embellishments, instead of opting for more modern flower packs, I picked all the flowers from my older paper flower bin and added a few butterflies that I had bought at my local Dollarstore ages ago.
