Hey there, peeps! Time for a new Retro Rubber challenge, where we give our older stamps some love! I have some really vintage ones on my card today! Here's our challenge prompt:
I used the interesting sketch from Sunday Stamps:
and an old set from Cornish Heritage Farms called Sweet Spring. I have no idea how old this set it, probably at least ten years old!! I stamped two shamrocks from the set on Shimmery White paper in Just Jade ink and watercolored them in, fussy cut them, then mounted them on some Shaded Spruce gingham triangles:
The triangles went on a circle embossed with polka dots and matted with a green glimmer paper scallop. The center sentiment was from the same set! On the inside, I used a sentiment from another CHF set, around the same time period, called The Shoe Boutique:
I also added a couple of shamrocks from Holiday Blitz. The main element went on a panel that was embossed with a Jumbo Dot embossing folder. Clean, crisp and retro!
I hope you'll play along with our "Anything Goes" challenge this week! Just make sure your stamps are at least a year old, and tell us their approximate age! Then share your creation with us at the Retro Rubber blog! Thanks for visiting today!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Sweet Spring was 2009, I think - CHF has been closed since 2010 so it must predate that! Sweet card and great use of the sketch, too!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I adore those Jumbo Dots - so often you can find it giving my card panels a lift from underneath! I need to give it the stage again, soon!
