WT617 ~ Something Old, Something New....{01/05/2017}

It's Sabrina here as your hostess this week - welcome to a new year of WTUI challenges. I have taken my inspiration for today's challenge from the old rhyme - "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue". You don't, of course, have to make a wedding card unless that's what you want to make :D, the wedding verse is simply the frame for the challenge, whic gives you a chance to use those new stamps, dies, tools or whatever, as well as dust off some old ones. You'll see below the options I am offering you for interpreting "borrowed".

New - as new as possible ;-).
Old - as old as you like, bonus points the older it is.
Borrowed - if you're lucky enough to live near someone you stamp with and borrow from them, great! But other ways of interpreting this are borrowing an idea or a layout - CASE a card from your Favourites, or use something you typically associate with someone, like Linda's beautiful scoring details, Susie's ink, spray and smoosh backgrounds, and borrow from them... I think that RAK images can also fall into this borrowed category, so if you wish to use images you've received from somebody feel free to run with that too.
Blue - nothing to explain ;-). Anything blue, colouring, papers, embellishments...

When you've created your "something old, something new" card, upload it with the keyword WT617, and then come back and share a link here - that makes it easy for people to find your card :wink:.

Here's a link to our WT617 Something Old, Something New gallery

Here's a link to my sample: WT617 Fluting amongst the Flowers

If you're not sure how to add a link, here's how:
1. Open 2 windows or tabs: one for your card in the gallery, and one for this thread
2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link.
3. Go to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on)
4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.

My thanks to Lisa, Carla and Toni for some great samples. Lisa was able to borrow a stamp, Carla, Toni and I borrowed ideas/techniques.

Remember to share....

Don't forget to let us all know what your old, new and borrowed are! Include it in your write-up and/or share it here.

Great idea for a challenge, Sabrina. Here's mine Sending Good Wishes.

Here is my card for this challenge. It was really fun.

This is what I used for something:

Thank you for looking.

The website was having some probs this morning so it took FOREVER to get my card uploaded. I went with something OLD today since the new things I ordered 2 weeks ago won't arrive til sometime on Saturday - (it feels like forever!) Lots of OLD stamps - well old paper too now that I think of it since I bought a ream of this around 1999 . . . Here's my card:

Spotlight

I borrowed this idea from someone. I can't remember who used it first, but it was not me. As for the blue part, that is how I felt as I doctored up my old ink pad "Bravo Burgundy". It is getting ruined by just sitting there. Any suggestions on keeping them usable? The stamp set is new and the So Saffron, Bravo Burgundy, and Brads are all old and discontinued. Thanks for Looking!
