SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW...

Our challenge this month at A Blog Named Hero is "something old, something new" - in other words, use an old Hero Arts stamp with a newer one.  The stamp I chose is a sunflower from back in the 90's - I took it off the wood block so I could use it in my stamp positioner.


I used masking to create the background sunflowers and had to fussy cut the main flower along with cutting a smaller area to give it dimension.  Since the stamp didn't come with leaves, I found some from another set that worked.  Gave the piece a black mat and added to a white card base.  The sentiment comes from a set I bought last fall.  Added a few yellow enamel dots for a little color and done!


You certainly have something old and something new in your stash for creating a card for this month's challenge - two great prizes are there to be won!

Supplies:
Stamps: Peonies (sentiment)

Thanks for stopping by.
