Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge was to break out some of the new toys you got for the holidays, which made me realize … I didn't get many new crafting toys. I'm planning to do some shopping tomorrow to remedy that situation :^)
I did however get a package of cool postage stamps in my holiday gift from my sister. The owl is a vintage playing card from another gifted package of fun paper ephemera (thanks Lauren). I like how the color of the postage stamps bring out the blue in the owl's eyes. I used a rub-on sentiment on top of the postage stamps that says 'you make me smile'.
The cardstock is from Core'dinations and the background is the Hero Arts DesignBlock Flourish stamped in ColorBox Chestnut Roan … I love how the texture of the paper shows in the stamped image.
What a totally cool card — I LOVE your vibrant colors and big-blue-eyed owl!!! I didn’t get any new stamping toys as gifts either, but I shopped a week or two ago and just placed another order this morning — LOL — so I do OK keeping myself supplied — LOL!!! So glad you could play!! Wishing you a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS SEASON!!!
This is fabulous…I really love how you used the vintage playing card as your focal point…very coolio.
