Happy Tuesday, everyone! It's time for a new RetroRubber challenge, where we encourage you to use your older stamps! We have a sketch for you today:
What a great sketch...lots of layers to play with! As I was trying to "clean" my craft room, I remembered I hadn't played with these two sets from 2010 and 2011: French Foliage and Nature Walk. I also haven't done a vintage-style card for a while, so here we go:
I started with some vintage ephemera background papers, probably from My Mind's Eye, but they were in my scrap bin, so I don't know the maker for sure; I stamped images on a Naturals White panel in Stazon Black, Crumb Cake and Sahara Sand, and lightly stenciled a pattern over them:
I added some "splatters", a couple of honeycomb diecuts in silver glimmer paper and a tattered organdy rose, which also had some glitter adhered to it. I stamped the bird once on the panel and again on a scrap, then watercolored and fussy-cut him out:
The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings; I did a bit of sponging as well to add to the shabby, vintage look. It felt good to use all these sweet images and I always love a vintage-styled creation!
I hope you'll play along with our RetroRubber sketch this week; just remember to use stamps at least a year old, and tell us the approximate age! Thanks for popping in today!
Three fun-lovin' girls!!!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!
