Hello everyone: Well, today I made a card using an embellishment I haven't used in a long, long time.....EYELETS. I actually had to go dig deep into my "kind of forgotten" box of bling and other things, to find them, I knew I had some but the question was "Where??!!!"
So, why did I needed Eyelets? well, because I wanted to enter the
Retro Rubber Challenge, which offers a fun way to dig out our long forgotten stamp sets, tools, embellishments, etc. and play along.
I made a card using a retired SU set called "Morning Cup", which has a bunch of super cute little cups and saucers, a tea pot and a coffee pot, plus some really awesome sentiments. I used Stazon Jet Black Ink on Canson water color paper.
Here is the card I made:

I don't know about you but for me, the combination of purples and green is really beautiful. I used my Perfect Plum SU marker to color this images, the little flowers on the cup have a bit of Tangerine Tango an the tea bag is colored with River Rock.

Here is a little close up, I don't know if the lighting is ok, I really don't have any special lamps except one that I use when I'm coloring and it's dark outside. I stamped the little tea bag, snipped it and added a bit of thread then, pop it up with SU dimensionals.

Can you see this little hearts? well, they are punched out with a super old, totally retired SU corner punch. The outline is pretty but I love this little hearts that are leftover after you punch your corners. I just can't throw them out, they are perfect in every way, what do you think?
Anyway my friends, I hope you like this card, I hope I'm able to link it up to the challenge, it's a bit difficult for this "old" grammy to understand all of this technical stuff.
Ok, I hope you have a wonderful week, till next time, many hugs.
Maria.
