I quite fancied entering the Oldie But A Goodie Challenge of 1 (image) 2 (papers) 3(finishing touches). It sounds quite a straightforward theme doesn't it, but then I started to get myself in a muddle. Is that just 2 patterned papers, and what counts as "finishing touches"? This is what I came up with but I have a sneaky feeling I may have bent the rules a little.
I have used LOTV Rosie With Cake stamp
Painted her with Distress Inks (ReInkers)
Used two sheets of Dovecraft Tea House papers
But then I came unstuck with the kraft paper for the matting layers
A Personal Impressions sentiment
And 3 pearls to finish off
But I had forgotten about the Martha Stewart butterfly punched corners......
So my 3 finishing touches are the sentiment, the pearls and the butterflies!
My stamp, papers, pearls and punch are all over six months old, so I got that bit right.
Just so you know how old Rosie is, she is being retired! OMG! I think if I had to narrow down my LOTV collection to (this cannot ever happen) just 5 of my most used stamps, then Rosie With Cake would be very high on the list. I think she is (sorry James Bear) my most stamped LOTV.
If you want to get your mitts on Rosie then you need to head over to LOTV sooner rather than later as she is being retired at the end of November, sooner if she sells out before then, and once she is gone, she is gone, sob.
Anyhoo, I've started to ramble so best I scuttle off now.
Hugs to all

Absolutely Fabulous in every way!! Hugs Pops x x x
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure whether I've got this stamp... that's how bad my LOTV collection is now, I can't even be sure if I own a particular stamp, or if I've ever used it! I know some lovely stamps are retiring, but I'm not even letting myself look... too many stamps still un-inked.
ReplyDeleteAnyway... love your card! Very pretty colours and fab colouring too :o) Hugs, Lisa x
Beautiful! I love this stamp too :) Love the butterfly corners :) I could use a nice big piece of cake!! Huggles, Jayne xx

ReplyDeleteI love this card with your beautiful colouring and the little butterfly corners
