The CCEE Stampers challenge this week is called An Oldie, but Goodie. We are to take an old stamp and use it for this challenge. I chose an old Stampin' Up set called "Roosting". This was colored with prisma pencils and I sponged around it with a couple of distress inks until I got a color I was happy with. I found the paper in a paper packet from DCWV. I was lucky to find the orangy color of card stock that matched the distress inks perfectly. I added blue and green card stock to mat on the white card. I almost forgot, I used wax paper for the doily then sponged it with denim distressing ink. I had used the wax paper on a Cheery Lynn Die to help my card stock not to stick so much. This had been laying on my craft table for quite a while and I decided to use it behind my chicken.
Thanks for stopping by today. We would love to see what your oldie, but goodie stamp is. Get it out, make a card and upload it the
CCEE blog.
love the colors you used on this

ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know I'm not the only one who can't through the waxed paper out :D, I keep my bits and try to use them up along the way. It looks fabulous sponged - a perfect rustic setting for that handsome fowl.
Very pretty!
