Happy Tuesday, peeps! Time for a new Retro Rubber challenge, where we dust off those older stamps (at least a year old, tell us how old if you can!) and give them some love. Our theme this week is "Anything Goes"!
I pulled out a really old Cornish Heritage Farm stamp from their June 2009 Stamp of the Month; I am not even sure of the name of the stamp itself! But here we go:
I used the sketch from TSOT along with some "retro" papers as well:
I stamped the image with Stazon ink on some Naturals White cardstock, then lightly watercolored the edges, flowers and bees with reinkers. I added a Baja Breeze "stitched" border and some gold ribbon and twine embellishment:
My papers are from Authentique's Meadow (yellow print) and My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose: Mabel (lower border). The sentiment is from Darcie's Heart and Home, BEEutiful, which is from 2012. I stamped it in Stazon as well and used punches to cut it out. Finally, I added some yellow sequins and another Baja Breeze border to tie all the colors together!
I hope you'll come play with our "Anything Goes" challenge this week...remember to use stamps that are at least a year old and tell us their approximate age! Share it with us at the Retro Rubber blog so everyone can see it! Thanks for popping in today!
A few more cards:
This is from my sweet friend Colleen; I love the bird and the little embroidered flowers!
Sandy sent this pretty vellum-layered beauty:
And I must give my friend Karen kudos for her awesome coloring and fussy-cutting! Wowza!
And this pretty array of florals is from my sweet friend Renita!
