Hi Friends!
I am having a great time
this week organizing a few areas of the house (mainly the kitchen) and decided
to take a moment to create a few cards using a set that I have owned for over 17
years and have not inked up in at least 15 years- Early Spring (from the
2003-2004 Stampin’ Up! IBC Catalog).
While I had this stamp
set out, I stamped a few of each of the floral images and created a total of
six cards.
I decided to pair
this card with a current stamp set from Stamp Simply, Words of Encouragement
and added a few retired Stampin’ Up! buttons, designer paper and lace from my
stash.
I used the Splitcoaststampers SC330 Sketch Challenge (from 2011) for the layout and also incorporated the Sunday Stamps #235 "Bright and Beautiful" Color Challenge into the design.
If you have not had a
chance to visit the above challenge sites yet, I hope you will do so- wonderful
inspiration from all!
This card was fairly
easy to create- the image and sentiment were heat embossed with clear embossing
powder, water-based markers were used for the watercolor, a bit of layering, lace
and buttons and the card was done!
