Hello everyone, I'm so happy to share with you our new RETRO RUBBER Challenge, that will run from December 6th. through the 16th. giving you plenty of time to create a card inspired by our photo, use it for your color inspiration. This is the card I made, hope you like it.
This beautiful stack of porcelain tea cups is from a super old Flourishes set called "Christmas Tea", it's one of the first stamp sets I bought from this company back in 2010.
I stamped this image onto a piece of Strathmore multi media paper with Versamark ink and then, heat embossed it in gold, I then colored it with SU markers and an aqua painter.
When it was completely dry, I fussy cut around it and, using a very sharp exacto knife, cut the holes on the cup handles, how I wish there were companion dies to this beautiful stamp sets.
The pattern paper is from my very old stash and so is the ribbon. The little sentiment is from the set.
************************************************************************
Here is a picture of the finish inside of my card.
The sentiment and the little row of cups and mugs are from the set, the frame around the sentiment is from another very old Flourishes set called "Country Charm Labels".
I hope you join us in the gallery. Please, take a moment to read our rules, they are simple but necessary. One of the most important ones is that we would love to know the age of your stamps, not so much the date they hit the market but instead, how long you've had them.
Another important rule is that you can participate in up to 10 challenges including ours.
For more awesome inspiration, please hop over my teammates blogs to admire their beautiful creations.

Wow beautiful stamp set, love it Maria, I have finally bought myself a tea cup stack stamp set. Mind you I didnt realise how big it was till it arrived. Not like your delicate looking china that looks so pretty and soft.
