The Anything Goes challenge at Retro Rubber seems to be everyone's favourite challenge, so make sure you join us this week. Since this is retro rubber, there is one proviso on the Anything Goes - you still need to use at least one stamp that's a year or more old and tell us its age.
One of the nice things about getting out my older stamps is the chance to match them up with some new products. Then it's like they're new again!
Beautiful Day first appeared in January 2018. It is a stamp set I have almost always used with Brusho (or our new Pigment Sprinkles TM) but of course, it looks well with Stampin' Blends as well. With a different colouring medium and in the bright colours of the 2018-2020 In-Colours(TM), it takes on a whole new feel.
I've used the brand spanking new Scripty embossing folder in the background and sponged in a bit of colour behind the rose to focus attention on it.
The sentiment is also from an older set, Itty Bitty Greetings which first appeared in the 2018-19 Annual Catalogue. This is one of my go-to sets: there's a sentiment for every occasion and a great variety of fonts. I thought that this would make a great anniversary card but could also work for a wedding card as well.
The rhinestones I coloured with the dark Mango Melody Stampin' Blend.
