Something old, Something new .....

So Did you see Julies post about a trip down memory Lane? I thought I would join in, so todays post is sharing something old, and something new!! 

Firstly the new. I was asked by some friends to make a retirement card for one of the teachers at school, having never made one before I wasn't too sure what to use but I already had this image partly coloured so I went with it! 



Very happy with how the card came out in the end. The image is Jug Vase delight and you can find it here. Coloured with copics, and added lots of flowers. The papers are from a first edition pad. 
Copics:
Purples - V12, V15, V17
Creams - E40, E41
Greens - YG97, YG95, YG93


Then onto my something old .... This is my favourite stamp ever, so much so that I bought 2 of her incase I managed to break one!! I saw Daydreaming Ruby in a magazine when I was in hospital 3 years ago and sent Paul home to find out how I could buy her! Once I got home I ordered her and she has been here ever since!! I then discovered Kerrys blog and managed to persuade push her (with Lisa's help force) to start up a design team ..... and that was that! LOL ...



Remember all cling stamps have 70% off them at the minute so grab them whilst stocks last!! 

Do you like Daydreaming Ruby? You can find her here
