Hello Blogging Buddies!
Regulars to my blog would have noticed the Designing D.I.V.A.S. badge in the right side bar. This is a fabulous creative group on Facebook. Each month they hold a Blog Hop called OBG (oldies, but goodies). This is the second hop and the idea is to go through our "stash" and pull out our "old" stamps and supplies and use them on a project. So here goes......
If you're following the Hop and arrived here from Sue's blog, then you are in the right place. If not, you may want to go back to the lovely Brenda's Blog as she started the hop today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For my card today I pulled out one of my Stampin Up wood mounted stamps 'Upsy Daisy'......I used this set so much when it first arrived, but it hasn't seen ink for a while......until now!
I've stamped the image using two colours of VersaColor, Lagoon Blue and Celadon onto SU Whisper White card.
My 5" card base is from a piece of LSS card from my coloured card 'stash' and is followed by a layer of Whisper White.
The rest of the card used is digitally printed in shades of Ocean Blue/White.
I've added plain and zig zagged machine stitching for interest. Pure white seam binding, tied across the centre and in a bow to the side.
The stamped panel has been popped up on foam dots with two AnnaBelle Stamps Sprinkles in a colour to match the Lagoon Blue.
It just needed a little something else .... preferably old or unused to finish, so I added opposite corner detail by punching two Cuttlebug Vintage Corners........I had to hunt around for these, it's been so long!
Thanks for dropping by today, why not go dig out an old set and have a play!
Hmm.... think I'll leave this stamp on my desk for a while.......watch this space!
OK, next stop on your journey is to the fabulous blog of
Barbara Wibel .........have fun I'll be joining the hop later on, as this goes up at 2am - 17th here in Sydney!!!
