There's many a week I think I might play along with the current challenge at Retro Sketches -- and then that week slips by, and it doesn't happen. But I'm ready this week -- with several hours to spare! I really liked this week's (RS#13) sketch:
I've been hoarding admiring my Graphic45 The Magic of Oz paper pad for far too long, so I finally cut into it and came up with this:
It always seems kind of weird to make a card with no stamping involved, since card-making is really my excuse to play with rubber stamps! But these papers really do speak for themselves. And at least I stamped a birthday sentiment on the inside. ☺ P.S. Of course I am also entering this in the current Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes challenge!
Supplies: sand & Stampin' Up Riding Hood Red cardstock, Graphic45 The Magic of Oz collection patterned paper, Marvy corner-rounder punch, dimensionals
Isn't it funny, it's usually not until I'm listing supplies that I think "huh, I didn't use a single stamp?" LOVE this card- I have the same 'problem' with my Graphic 45 paper. It likes to be all neat & tidy and uncut in the pad :)
Hi Lindsey, I've also made cards without any stamping. Sometimes the paper or the embellishment is enough without stamping. In this case I agree the paper alone makes the card very interesting! So glad you played RetroSketches this week!
Hi Lindsey! I know what you mean about a card with no stamping ;) But your card is SO Gorgeous - I love sweet Dorothy and her sparkly shoes! A wonderful card!! I must tell you I to "hoard" Graphic45 papers too...I take them out and then keep them again ;) Have a great weekend! {hugs}
so fabulous lindsey!!! no stamping is kinda weird now that I think about it, but your rocked it.
I was obsessed with the ruby slippers when I was younger. My parents made sure I saw them them at the Smithsonian when I was 10 or 11. I love that you featured them on this card.
I also feel weird when I don't have any stamps, but hey, you stamped the inside so that counts. Super cool papers and your mix looks great! It's funny how you can make any sketch CAS--I love that!

ReplyDeleteI never make unstamped cards either, but after seeing this maybe I should! The papers are awesome and they don't need anything else :)
ReplyDeleteI understand the hoarding, sorry admiration of that paper, it is lovely and perfect on its own with no stamps necessary.

I guess you/I don't miss seeing stamped images from this paper. Love the layering and colors, Lindsey!
ReplyDeleteSUPER SUPER cute! I LOVE everything Wizard of OZ---and I would def. be hoarding it if I had it:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the shoes--love your take on this sketch! FAB job:)
So fun Lindsey! Love the bright colours.

ReplyDeleteThat paper rocks and I'm glad you broke it out for us to see (even if it felt weird not to stamp)! Fingers crossed for Simon Says!

This is really cute. I feel funny if I make a card without stamping, feels like something is missing.
