Finally another chance to spend a wee bit of time in the Rubber Room. I am trying to restock the cards for the card ministry I do for our church. The box is very low on sympathy cards so the WT878 challenge is very timely. Used a card from Featured Stamper leslielarkin's gallery as my inspiration: Wild Roses by leslielarkin at Splitcoaststampers
I loved her colour combo. I changed the orientation of the card, stamped the bg on white cardstock, die cut a sentiment shape and fussy cut the top layer which was sponged with Strawberry Slush ink to match the bg panel. Will create a few more like this as time allows.
Before I made this card, I converted the Floral bg stamp from wood-mounted to foam-mounted - wish I'd done that years ago. Sure does make stamping a bg image less frustrating when you can simply re-ink the stamp and 'touch up' any sections that didn't ink completely. I've already done this for four more bg stamps in my collection.
(I've probably had that spool of ribbon for about 10 years, the Floral bg hasn't been inked up for a loooong time and I'm not sure when I last used those dies so I figure this also fits the USEIT2022 challenge.)
FS779 = leslielarkin
WT878 = Sympathy card
USEIT2022 = Use what's already in the Rubber Room!

Beautiful - I love (and kept) that background and converted most of mine when SU carried the foam to remount them. Wish I had also kept the coordinating stamp set LOL!
