i've got loads of really elderly stash on this card, including the cool pink background that's one of a very few bits i have left from a papaya art clipart book that i absolutely adored in like... 2003? lots of ancient paperscraps with interesting edges, a tiny bit of pink ribbon that really seems like it was too small to save ...and yet... i did, lol! my favorite "golden oldie" here, however, is the fabulous ALOHA stamp, which i bought at long's drugs, in the ala moana shopping center, our first night in hawaii, back in 2011. i mention this because i've used the gorgeous new sketch at retro rubber to lay out my design!
there's loads more "lazy summer days" inspiration over at SOS, be sure to check that out, ASAP, darlings! ♥
I think I an gonna have to play along...fab fun and colorful Lauren.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous summery pastels palette! And the Aloha stamp is fabulous. I'm most interested that you found it at the Ala Moana centre - I wish I'd found ti when I was there! It's a beauty and I'm glad you inked it up for our challenge.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I was so busy thinking about that stamp, and about Hawaii, that I forgot to say thank you so much for joining us at Retro Rubber!
ReplyDeleteBright and beautiful, as usual! My oldest daughter is like you: she would go to Hawaii any day... she is considering college there, though I'm like, "Keep up them grades, sister... out of state tuition is scary..." Anyway, awesome card, and steal of a stamp!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, lovely colours and you got to use a pink flamingo.
