I am so happy to be joining Retro Rubber this week as their Guest Designer, They selected this card a few weeks ago as their favorite, and offered me the guest spot this week.
I took a pretty literal interpretation of their inspiration photo--I was instantly reminded of an old Waltzingmouse set I have had for a few years called USA 1776. I stamped everything in Versamark one color at a time, and used Red, White, Gold and Verdigris embossing powder. I would have used blue embossing powder as well, if I had it.
What do you think of this photo? I hope you will be inspired to pull out some older stamps (older than one year please) and play along this week.
Thanks for Visiting
Joyce, what a beautiful card, Verdigris EP is so good for the Statue of Liberty!
