When I saw that the current Retro Rubber Challenge was Spring Flowers, I thought it was a good opportunity to go through the drawers of my older stamps. It's probably reached the time to purge and reorganize, but I'm just not quite there yet.
I found the Birthday Art Set by Wendy Vecchi that I received when I took her class at Creativation 2019, so these stamps are from January 2019 (more than a year old). I had never inked it since, so it was good to take it for a ride. What is cool about these stamps is that they came with a coordinating stencil to use with each piece of the flower, so you could sponge on color vs. needing to color with pens or markers. I did not, however, have a coordinating die, so I detail-cut the image when I was done.
I used papers from Die Cut with a View Preserved Paper Collection and a layout from Tuesday Morning Sketches. The two die cut shapes were cut using two of the Gina Marie Designs Geometric Oval Frame Dies from wood grain papers from the same DCWV paper collection.
As I hunted for a sentiment, I saw this Pink Song Lyric Sticker, and remembered that the theme at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stamps is M is for Magic … you know the bird on that card is thinking "how dare those flowers steal my space in the spotlight … see how things look when I just disappear".
This is so pretty! And yes, there is just enough side eye from the bird to qualify as snarky. 😉 Thanks for joining the fun at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!
