Hi friends!
It's the start of a brand new week
and I hope your Monday is off to a good start :)
This week is going to be JAM PACKED with cards for me ~
I've got lots of craftingl and lots of cardmaking to do ...
yay!
Today's card is courteousy of my teenage son ~ in 2 ways!
He chose the stamps and he created the idea of this monthly challenge.
We call them my 'Old Dusties!'
Back in January, we started chatting about stamps and card making.
He's a sweet and thoughtful boy
He's a sweet and thoughtful boy
and probably one of my biggest cheerleaders ♥
We spoke out Stampin Up and how I next to never use them anymore.
He said "I have an idea!"
I'll pick a stamp set for you, you won't know what it is,
and you have to make a card with it.
Deal?
Deal!
This month, he chose one of my VERY favorite sets:
Yukon!
Last month, he chose another bear set (though it was camping!)
and I always ask how he choses the stamp that month.
Me: I LOVE THIS ONE! THANK YOU! How'd you chose this?'
Him: 'When you called me, I was playing PS4 with my friends
and you said you needed one -
so I grabbed the one next to the one I chose last time.
And I love the outdoors."
LOL!
This set is from 2002
and only ONE stamp in this set was ever inked up.
This is definitely a KEEPSIES!
Here's my card,
created by masking the moose and bear and mountains
and coloring with copic markers.
The sky is harder to see as I colored it a very light lavendar
and I just loved creating this beautiful scene.
and these two friends are always down to join
the crazy ideas I come up with!
What's new since 2002 with this Yukon set?
1. I used stitched dies, which we didn't have back then
2. I colored this entirely with copic markers, which I didn't own back then.
I encourage you to look through your old stash, too!
Dust them off, take them out and let them get inky!
Thanks for stopping by ...
Big hugs, bigger blessings!
