Before you begin to make your card this week, I have a little bit of advice for you. Do NOT ask your pre-teen daughter what she thinks of when she hears the word "OLD." She may stare at you until you realize she is implying that YOU are old. (I won't make that mistake again. Saucy little girl!)
When I think of "old," I think of old times, traditions, memories.
I colored this poinsettia stamp with LePlume markers, then spritzed with water and stamped. Once dry, I added some ultra fine glitter to the flower petals. Very subtle, but pretty in the right light.
I love these Hero Arts stamps, even they are old!
Be sure to link up your OLD-inspired card by noon on Monday (Central time). You will also be inspired by the unique ways our Design Team and Guest Designer interpreted the cue this week...be sure to check out their blogs, too!

I love your "old" stamps! That technique is tried and true and your rocked it here!
ReplyDeleteThose are pretty old stamps - I remember them! And I love how you've used them! PS, when you're a teen, everyone over 25 is old!
ReplyDeletegreat use of these old stamps--love the flower!
ReplyDeleteJudy this is just beautiful!! Love the subtle background, it looks like burlap!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!
ReplyDeleteThe woven background is just gorgeous behind the poinsettia, Judy ... such a lovely sentiment ... a brilliant take on the cue card! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteNothing beats those old woodblock stamps, Judy! I love this card; that background is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHaha!!! You are so funny, Judy! Okay, I'll keep in mind your advice and I won't ask to my future daughter what OLD would bring to her. Love your take on the cue word. What a great use of three different stamps! May
ReplyDeleteFab card Judy, love that burlap background finish

ReplyDeleteLOL! Love your cheeky daughter - pretty sure I would have done exactly the same at her age. :) And your card is gorgeous! I love the watercolor look of the flower and the burlap background.
ReplyDeleteJudy, I LOVE the layered stamping of this card! Perfectly CAS and perfectly festive! Your style is just amazing! I would love to have you to come and join the blog hop over at House of Cards. We have prizes and I'd love to see what you create with our photo inspiration! HUGS! :) Mynn xx
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. And, good for you for giving some old stamps some love. I hear you on the teenaged perspective of old. Mine would have said the same thing. But then, these are the same girls who say that their assignment is not due for a really long time (and they mean next week).
ReplyDeleteLove how you merged the stamps togerther for one cohesive lovely card!!!!
ReplyDeleteI did not see that burlap stamp Judy...
ReplyDeleteIt looks adorable combine with that flower image
and I see at your sentiment set you only used this sentiment (funny too that I have similar sentiment from Hero arts not exact the same one and only use one or two stamps :) LOL)
adorable old stamp you have Judy
adorable card you made..love the combo on here..
I am joining this week too..wish you have a bit time to visiting me back Judy....maybe you will laugh looking my card (or maybe not :) )hugs, Monika
gorgeous card, judy... love how you layered the stamps and your very clever take on the word "old"!!
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, thanks for your comment at my blog that linked me to your blog. I have the same Hero Arts background stamp and a VERY VERY similar flower like yours too! I never knew what to do with it until your card. I am definitely going to find time to make and let you know when I do! :)
