PP757 A Wagon Full of Fun

Happy Sunday, all! Stef is our Paper Players hostess this week and she has a wonderful, versatile sketch for us:

I did take a little liberty with the sketch, turning it on its side, because when I stamped my image, I didn't realize how large it was, LOL!  And I bucked the circular shape (which I would normally do) and went with a rectangle!  I found this cute image in my retired fall stamps and just had to give his little guy some ink:

Since my image was so large, I made a larger card--this one measures 4 1/2 x 6 1/4"  I stamped some Timeless Plaid DSP with a little leafy border, then added my watercolored image:

It was stamped on Fluid 100 Watercolor paper and colored with reinkers.  The "hello" is from Unbounded Love.  A really old stamp was used for the inside sentiment:

as well as some little pumpkins I stamped down in the corner!  Some of my old SU favorite styles!

I hope you'll find some inspiration from the DT at the Paper Players--I am sure this sketch will have you coming up with all kinds of ideas!  Share them with us at the blog, we can't wait to see what you create!

RR144 Harvest of Good Wishes

Happy Tuesday, peeps!  Time for a new Retro Rubber challenge, where we give our older stamps (at least a year!) some love!  This week it's an Anything Goes challenge!

 

My long-time stamping friend is relocating and getting rid of a lot of her older stamps, and I found this set called Sweet Seasons from 2004!  This little boy pulling a wagon of pumpkins was just too cute to pass up...it's a bit "old school" but I love it anyway:

I stamped him in Memento Black ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and used SU Blends to color him in!

The sentiment is from a My Creative Time set that I have had for years....maybe from 2010?  I added a few stamped and fussy-cut leaves from a past Paper Pumpkin set and mounted everything on a piece of Graphic 45 paper on which I stamped some "swirls", although they're difficult to see, to replicate the wind in the stamped image!

I hope you'll play along with our Retro Rubber "Anything Goes" challenge..just make sure your stamps are at least a year old and you tell us their approximate age!  Can't wait to see where your creative process takes you!  Thanks for popping in today--enjoy it and be blessed!
