Hi friends!
Happy weeekend!
Today's card is for the Stamp What?! card series
that was created by my teenage son :)
Here is how it all started and his creative idea
is to breath new life into {much} older stamp sets that go unused!
This month, here is the stamp set he chose:
And Everything Nice w/Hollyhocks
circa 2005
As always, I like to 'rib him' a little bit and ask why he chose it :)
Me: 'INTERESTING choice! Why did you pick this one?"
Him: "It reminded me of Singing In The Rain."
Wow I haven't used this stamp set in a month of Sundays!
And ... I was a bit stumped so here it is.
Not my favorite card I've made but it. is. what. it. is!
How I modernized this older, wooden stamp set is
that I've used copics (didn't own those in 2005),
designer paper and dies that are current to the last few years.
And that's my card!
Barb and Jeanette are joining me this year on this card journey
and you can see there cards on their blogs, too.
Here's one final look:
Thanks for stopping by
and have a wonderful weekend!
This is really pretty, Kelly! Love your modern take on this lovely old stamp!
ReplyDeleteKelly, I love the set that your son chose for you this month... cute image (does it remind you of Alice?) Your chevron paper is a modern look for the 2005 stamp set. Fun card!
ReplyDeleteThis is so nicely done, and so cute! It's perfect for this month. April...April showers! (Which is something that I should have remembered yesterday... Hubby and I went to the grocery store to get some groceries...wasn't raining when we went in the store...but it was when we came out...and of cours, our umbrella was in the car!
