Today I have the honor of being a Guest Designer at Through the Craft Room Door. Their theme is always "Anything Goes" and I decided on something for Easter. Over the years, I've given up most of my rubber stamps, changing primarily to digital images because they require so little storage space. I did keep this rubber Easter stamp (Bankes Vintage Stamps), mostly because I love the vintage aspect, and how it can look 'lineless' if stamped with light ink. I used an ink pad called "Old Photo," a pale, sepia-brown ink.
I colored with ProMarkers and added the 'sponging' with chalks. I chose two different Fiskars corner punches to shape the image corners after cutting it with a plain rectangle die from QuicKutz. I printed the top sentiment and hand cut it, but the bottom sentiment (Always Believe) comes from Clear Dollar Stamps (now closed.)
The leafy vines were cut with a Cheery Lynn die and the mulberry paper flower was cut with a die from Spellbinders. I added glitter to the flower petals and a gem stone to the center. Everything was mounted onto an aqua card base.

I was inspired by the colors at Prika Crafts.

Lovely card! I can see why you kept that stamp, it does have such a vintage vibe to it.

Your card is lovely, but I'm afraid I don't see any water aspect on it and I don't see that Die Cut Divas is on your list, so it must have been a mistake. Always think of us.
