Pretty Spring colors this week. I'm sure there will be lots of floral images :).
The other day when I went searching for some [other] images, and while looking, I came across this gorgeous floral image that again, I have had for about 20 years. Did you know that rubber based stamps go bad? I didn't - I do now. While I did get this one to stamp, it went in the trash after I used it. So brittle the rubber was coming off like dry skin! lol. It's unfortunate since this image really is pretty.
To get the image stamped, I had to use Versafine Black ink - that does not go with Copics. That said, I got out my colored pencils and let them do the work.
Thanks for stopping by~

It's a beauty Vicki! Love your idea of cutting the image out with a cover die and replacing the framework looks fabulous. What a shame to have to say goodbye to such a pretty image. Vicky x
So pretty, Vicki! I like the way you die cut the flower!
Vicki... love how you broke the flower image up and reconstructed. I have never done that on a card... it is very effective!
Awesome design!
So creative this week, Vicki! Love it!
Wow! This is stunning! Love the idea with the cover plate! And YES!! Rubber stamps have gone bad on me too...but of course I have several 20 year old stamps too!! LOL!! Great inspiration Vicki!
What a great design and too bad the stamp was ruined! I love the cover plate idea! Really gorgeous!
You're very brave using a cover plate to cut the image after you've coloured it Vicki - not sure I'd dare! Such a pretty card. I rarely use rubber stamps now, except for MFT background stamps. Good to know they deteriorate over time. I'd better start looking after them!
This is a real beauty! I love how you die cut that gorgeous image and then inlaid the framework. What a labor of love. So sad that you had to say goodbye to that beautiful stamp :(
WOW! Absolutely stunning, Vicki! I didn't realize rubber stamps would become brittle; so glad that you were able to get a print from it to create this work of art! Love this!

So beautiful and a great design.
This is a really cool technique. I love the boldness of your design. Beautiful card.
Therese Calvird did a similar die cut image for another challenge and it is such a cool technique, Vicki. Yours looks great with the frame nestled back in between the triangles. Beautiful coloring and inking.
Beautiful card Vicki. Love that press and seal stuff. Sure makes life easy keeping everything in it's place.
This card is much more than ok, Vicki! You did an amazing job die cutting the stamped image and putting it together again using foam tape.
