Happy Friday All!
I spotted a couple of challenges the other day that I thought I could combine and create something fun! I am ALWAYS in need of birthday cards so this worked out beautifully!
Here's what I've come up with . . .
The challenges I'm referring to are:
Retro Rubber - They Said It's Your Birthday
One of the rules of this particular challenge is: Remember to use a stamp older than a year and you must include the age (or approximate age) of the stamp in your blog post. Time goes by so quickly these days but I would have to say I've had this cute little Wild Rose Studio stamp at least 2 years (along with a couple others that are similar with this adorable little elephant).
The other challenge I combined with is the new challenge over at Color Hues.
A while back I was playing around and created this cute little sky panel using an old scallop edged die and the ink left over on one of my blue ink sponge daubers. It was 'still' laying on the work table and I thought it would make the perfect backdrop of this adorable little stamp.
So it would show through slightly, I stamped my image onto a vellum panel then colored it on the back side of the vellum. I rummaged through several of my 6x6 paper pads and came up with this combination ... hope you like it!
Wishing you a wonderful day and weekend ahead!
I'll have a couple more slimline creations to share with you over the weekend! Would love to have you stop back and check 'em out! As always ...

That is so cute. Love that little elephant.
ReplyDeleteYou colored this adorable little guy on vellum? Perfect! I love him so much in pink and brown! Your subtle sky is just right, too!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Love the sweet image and the beautiful background papers you used. This little guy looks great on vellum. Need to give this a try, it's new to me :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the way you did the sky and that flower is so pretty! I adore elephants so I like him very much too. The patterned papers work so well with our colors. Great card and so happy to have you in our gallery at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteAdorable, love the image holding the flower, great birthday card. Thanks for playing along with Retro Rubber Challenge Blog.
ReplyDeleteYippee! So happy to see this pop up in the RRCB! This is such a cute image and the pink/brown combo is really perfect! I love the pattern play between the two papers - it really adds so much depth! Thanks so much for sharing this at the Retro Rubber Challenge #148 - They Say It's Your Birthday!
