Wednesday

Today I want to share with you some cards made with OLD stamps. Yes, at least 15 (maybe even 20) years old. They were red rubber on the wood mounts. I say were because I took all of the stamps off of the wood, and added the cling so that it would stay on my misti. Some of my stamps are really old /like the PSX stamps. Wow that was a long time ago. Anyway they are drying out, so they have to be positioned on the misty and stamped more than one time. 

FYI : I can't do anything without my Misti!

So lets get started! The first stamp is the tulip from A Stamp in the Hand. Remember they were the company that sponsored the rubber stamp convention in Carson, Ca. How we looked forward to that! Remembering their demos with Joyce. She was so good.

The tulips look funny off the mount, but they work! I used ink
pads to ink up the different colors then I used versamark and clear embossed. 

                           

 The next two below are from Judikins. They were known for their beautiful big backgrounds. They also had fabulous demos at the conventions, and both companies just generated excitement!!

                 Any pretty paper will work & add some extra butterflies!

The bouquet and frame are from Pinkfresh Studio.

I gold embossed the Judikins beaded background, and then paper-clipped a couple ideas! Or you could add some color......

Of course now I can't get rid of them ever.....

Hope you had fun looking!

                    Oh, wait there is one more 'lovely' thing. These are the flowers I got for my birthday from Doug. They are stunning!

                                                                   

                                                           They smell so good!

                                                                    Thanks again, Mary
