Something old: 1989 sentiment stamp
Something new: clearsnap colorbox inks
Something borrowed: skating Santa image
Something blue: bow, card base
A while back, a couple friends dropped in for an afternoon of coloring. Mostly copics, but I'd just received my zig markers. So I'd asked Cheryl to borrow her Santa image and stamped off a few on watercolor paper. I'm not sure who made the image.
The new items are the ink pads that were included in the falliday fest prize package I'd received from clearsnap. (Many thanks!) I smeared them on a palette, then used an aqua brush to paint Santa.
I don't think the sentiment is the oldest stamp I own, but it comes close. It shows I've been doing this since the late 80's-- How time flies when you're having fun. Stamping.

Such a fun Santa image and here you are already getting a start on next years Christmas stash . . . . That script on the sentiment is so pretty and isn't wonderful that we can still use things purchased 20 to 30 years ago . . ..can't say that about many things these days!

How cute!!!! Santa looks so happy to be delivering a gift. It's also wonderful to get to use an old stamp.

You rocked this, Brenda! Bonus points for getting pretty old with the stamp, and the Santa is an adorably perfect borrow. Cool that your FF prize worked in for the new...
