Today I made a card to participate in the Retro Rubber Challenge. The theme is May Flowers. Click on the link to play along.
The stamp set I used today is called Field Flowers. I believe this Stampin' Up! stamp was first released in 2011 and retired in 2014. I also used En Francais (2007) and Happy Watercolor (2014). That tiny sentiment, which I really love because of the size, is from an old Sale-A-Bration called Happy Moments.
I love this challenge because I go back to view my older stamps to select one to use for the challenge. I feel that I don't get enough use out of many of my stamps. This challenge allows me to re-visit and use the images again.,
Here is my submission for the challenge:
I named this post "Old and New". The stamps sets are old, but I used the brand new Stampin' Up! in-color, Sweet Sugarplum. This will be available on June 1, 2016.
The Field Flowers is a 2 step stamp set. I used Sweet Sugarplum for the first part stamp on the flower blossoms. The second color on the blossoms is Rich Razzleberry. The background was stamped with SU Tip Top Taupe,
Hello Diane: WOW!! I also have this stamp set, one of my favorites from SU. And you are right, the Retro Rubber challenge was created just so all of us who have older stamps that we love, giving them a chance to shine again.
