I'm hoping to play with some older stamps and give them some love again. I have so many uninked stamps, or stamps that I wanted so badly when they were first released, and then stamped them only once after I got them. Or not at all...Izzy is one of those stamps. So I paid her a revisit and stamped and colored her. After cutting her out with the deckle Nestabilities die, I added grass to the bottom, using Kim's tutorial shown here. I also dabbed some Glossy Accents on her eyes and used an Aqua Lip pen to glaze her lips.
The challenge at All That Scraps is to use die cuts and I was glad to see Izzy in the ATS store so my card qualifies--and I made the deadline, too!
Thanks, always, for visiting! Can you believe it's already the middle of August?

Oh...Donna...She is Gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteas always....amazing coloring!
Izzy is adorable, and as usual, you've brought her to life! Beautiful coloring, my friend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the softer, nature inspired colors you used.
ReplyDeleteShe is gorgeous, Donna! LOVE that soft coloring and that pretty shape of the card!
ReplyDeleteI have boatloads of neglected stamps, so don't feel bad. I'm surprised they don't call the rubber stamp equivalent of PETA and report me as an irresponsible owner! However, there is a redeeming satisfaction when one of those uninked beauties finally introduces ink to paper ;D
ReplyDeleteThis card is beautiful and how lucky for us that you decided to get her out and show her some love ;D
LOVE her D...she is amazingly cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors on this cutie, Donna! Absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Donna, I love Izzy, your colouring is perfect. I also have stamps I also have only inked once or twice, I must dig them out and have a play.

Izzy is so beautiful! I am the same way, I'm really trying to break that habit of letting stamps sit there, I bet we own stamps we have totally forgotten about! You're always so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love how you made the grass! And, boy, do I ever have stamps (& digi images)that I HAD to have but haven't used. So sad, but, so fun! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteThere is not enough time in the day for all of the stamps that I love and I feel such guilt sometimes... I am glad you got a chance to play with her again - you have made such a lovely card! :-)Traci

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!! Adore the softness of it!
ReplyDeleteAdorable card Donna! Izzy is so cute and as always your colouring is amazing. I love that you added the touches of Glossy Accents and glaze from the Aqua Lip pen! I'm afraid I'm guilty of having neglected and unused stamps - I should follow your example and get them inky!

ReplyDeleteYes, Yes, Yes! I definitely have uninked stamps and neglected stamps by the dozen :). Love your card, Izzy is cute and I like that you've accented her eyes and mouth. I can't believe August is nearly over esp as I don't feel like we've had much summer here in the UK. Can you believe I am wearing gloves right now??? I'm freezing, it's 15C right now.
ReplyDeleteShes so cute Donna, love your coloring as usual. :) :) :)
