Rubber Stamp Challenge



I made this card for my friend's birthday and thought I would enter it in a challenge over at Retro Rubber Challenge blog  RRCB30.  They were having a sketch challenge and this card is my interpretation of the sketch.   

This is the sketch I was work from

RRCB 30


To make my card I added Distress Ink to an acrylic block and stamped it on watercolour paper the added a Italian poem stamp to the water coloured area.  . 

My Italian stamp is from Hero Arts and was made in 2006.  The flower stamp I used was by Stampendous and was made in 2006. The sentiment is a die cut from Tim Holtz and  the flowers were coloured with Distress Inks also. A ribbons was added to complete the card. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.
