Stampotique Challenge 328 - What's old is new again

Hello and welcome back to the blog today, it's that time again, time for a new challenge over at Stampotique. 
Valerie Wilson is our hostess and her challenge this week is "What's Old is New Again"
Here is what Valerie says about this challenge:
"Repurpose, re-use, recycle and alter, music to my ears. Is there something that is destined for the trash and you can give it a new found life? Or perhaps your tired of that old wall hanging and you can give it a make-over? My challenge to you this week is to take something old and make it new again"

I think I misunderstood this challenge, lol... wouldn't be the first time... I actually took some older stamps and gave them new life by using them again haha!!

I made an ATC for this challenge

I also used some of my Tim Holtz crayons on this background
First thing I did was cover the entire background with multi matte medium, let that dry.

I then colored the entire background with the crayons

 I embossed the ATC with a embossing folder and then added another color os the crayon around the edges


I did a little sewing along the upper righthand corner and bottom left corner. 
For this ATC I used stampotique stamps:
The first two are oldies but goodies!!

Tall Word Collage - By Amy Wilson Wellenstein
Springtime - By Terri Richardson


I hope that you like my project today and that you will come by the Stampotique Blog and join us for this fun challenge
CHEERS!!

  2. WONDERFULLY designed card! Like the bkgrd, nicely colored images and overall vibrant colors. I love Stampotique and have over 100 stamps in my collection. I have wanted to join the challenges but I do not have a blog and I am not on FB (bad experience yrs ago.) I do have a SplitCoastStampers gallery. Can I link to cards I post there? Thanks for letting me know.
