Hi
Friends!
I
am still working on creating cards with some of my older stamp sets and this
card includes the retired Stampin’ Up! sets- Betsy the Beekeeper and Timeless
Textures along with the current Words of Encouragement stamp set from Simply Stamps.
I
heat embossed the Betsy the Beekeeper image and water-colored the image with clean
color markers. After die-cutting the
image with a stitched rectangle die, I used a honeycomb stencil and a texture
stamp with oxide inks. The texture stamps
were heat embossed with clear embossing powder and the layers were mounted onto
black cardstock.
The
card was finished off with a clear glitter pen, gold cord and rhinestones.
I
incorporated the Try Stampin On Tuesday #421 Sketch Challenge along with the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog #117 “Anything Goes” Challenge (Betsy the Beekeeper is over ten years old) and The House That Stamps Built #A1419 Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge (bottom row across- Bright Colors, Food,
Dimension).
If
you have not had a chance to stop by the above challenge sites, I encourage you
to do so- fabulous galleries and inspiration from all!

Wow, love this older image - your coloring is so fresh and new! Beautiful card, and lovely sentiment! Thanks so much for playing at TSOT!
What a great old stamp! I've never seen that one before. You've made her look crisp and new with those brighter colours and gorgeous background stamps. Thanks for joining us again at Retro Rubber Challenge, Julie.
LOVE Betsy the Beekeeper, Julie! I somehow missed her when she was featured in the SU catalog. Your coloring of her, and creation of the honeycomb background are perfect! All you attention to detail really paid off!!! Thank you for sharing your retired stamps and creativity with us at Try Stampin' on Tuesday!!! -Donna
