Hello everyone: With Valentine's Day just around the corner, my teammates and I at the RETRO RUBBER challenge want to inspire you to create some sweet Valentines for your family and friends so, here is my card and I hope you come and play along with us in our gallery.
I bought this rose stamp set on Ebay back in 2016, I'm so glad I wrote the date on the back of the set, I'm not very good at remembering when I buy my stuff, this is a good idea to kind of keep track of when and how many sets you buy.
I stamped this rose onto a die cut panel of watercolor paper with Stazon black ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils. The die cut "Love" sentiment is from a Penny Black die set called Love and Joy, the 4 sentiments cut really beautifully.
***************************************************************
This is a picture of the finished inside of my card, the sentiment is from a retired Flourishes set and the single rose from the above stamp set.
So I hope you come and play with us at the RETRO RUBBER "Love, Love, Love" challenge, for more inspiration, top by the blog and check out my teammates gorgeous creations.
I would like to play along with the following challenges.
The Crazy Challenge #267 "LOVE"

Scrapbook Stamp Society Challenge #133 "Anything Goes option Valentine"
Dream Valley Challenge #171 "LOVE"

Thank you for stopping by, I always read every single comment you so kindly leave on my posts, I want you to know I appreciate them more than words can express.
Until next time, happy stamping.
Hugs from Maria.


Wow that is the most lovely Valentine! Love the bud on the inside as well!
ReplyDeleteOh Maria, your pencil colouring is so wonderful! I'm in awe!
ReplyDeleteI have so many old stamps that are too pretty to give up. This one looks like a treat to color. You have a good eye! Love how you matted the pretty frame to make it stand out. It's perfect for your rose and sentiment. A bit of ribbon, too. Lovely, Maria!
