Hello, peeps! It's the first Retro Rubber challenge of 2022, where we give our older stamps some love, and Jane has some really cute prompts for us! Here's our first one...dig it!
I feel like a ninny because these would be perfect colors for a Valentine's card, but I pulled out a Christmas stamp from 2011 by Stampendous; I had seen my creative friend Lisa use this and I just had to have it for myself! And here is my pastel card:
Aren't those little angels adorable? I stamped them on Shimmery White paper with Stazon ink and watercolored them with reinkers of Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Balmy Blue and Blushing Bride:
I added some pastel snowflakes and mounted it on some retired snowy DSP from SU; the sentiment is from Itty Bitty Christmas (2019). I am also entering this at the Krafty Chicks Christmas challenge #594 for this week!
SO....what will you stamp with these pretty pastel colors? Just make sure you use a stamp that's at least one year old, tell us the date of the stamp in your post and then share it with us at Retro Rubber! Can't wait to see what you create! Thanks for popping in today!
I made sure my bird feeders were full this past weekend, as it was very cold! Plus John gave me a bird bath heater for Christmas and I was hoping to see some birds finally taking advantage of it! Success!! This male bluebird came back several times:
And this Northern mockingbird gave me a look as if to say "Mind your own business!" I apologize for the fuzzy pictures, I was taking these from inside, through a screen! But you can still see them pretty clearly!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12:2-3
