Another last minute post!
I recently discovered a challenge that is all about using your "retro" stuff, stamps that are at least a year old. And you know how much I love to dust off my older stamps so, of course, I had to play. Thinking I still had plenty of time I leisurely worked on my card until I checked the closing time...
This time we are given a sketch:
Stamps: Stampin' Up (swirly heart background, swirly heart), Winnie & Walter (sentiment)
Dies: MFT (scalloped border), Sweet 'n' Sassy (glitter heart)
Made a background with Distress Inks and white embossed the background stamp (from 2001!) on it. The rest is pretty self-explanatory. If you have questions please let me know.
Challenges:
Retro Rubber Challenge #6
Check it out, surely you have some older stamps that have been neglected because are having fun with you new stuff!
Time Out Challenge #23 "Valentines with an optional twist of hearts"
And now I'm off to bed!

2001??? Now that really IS retro! That background you created is so lush and delicious. The colours are stunning. I don't have any background stamps at all and really must remedy that problem, so I can attempt something like this!! Thanks for the inspiration and for joining us at TIME OUT!!
Wow, Susanne ... that's such a rich and gorgeous background ... so perfectly accented with the shimmery and filigree hearts ... brilliant! Having you share so many wonderful cards with us at Time Out is a delight ... thanks so much! Anita :)

Great card and a fab idea for a challenge. I also like getting my older stamps out (although currently playing with some new ones of my own of course!).

Well, you know the saying: what's old is new' and you have definitely breathed new life into this retro find of yours! The swirly background is a fabulous canvas for the pretty heart duo. Eye-candy...love it!

I love the gorgeous inked background. This is stunning! Thanks so much for joining us at Time Out!
wieder eine schöne Karte, der Hintergrund sieht toll aus!
(ne du, wenn ich hier fertig bin, mach ich erst mal wieder Pause bis zum nächsten Frühjahr ;-)), aber es macht Spaß den Kram loszu werden, den man doch nicht mehr braucht und die Schränke sich wieder lichten :-))
