   This pillow box features an image from one of my all-time favorite wood mount rubber stamps, an heirloom from Personal Stamp Exchange (aka PSX Stamps) named “Fuzzy Bear” that I’ve had in my collection since the 1990’s (and haven't used it for several years.) The pretty little trio of flowers stamped on the pillow box are from Art Impressions. All other items were from my stash.

   This card is my second entry into the current challenge at Double D’s with a “Vintage/Shabby Chic” theme. I love the look of Shabby Chic cards, but usually when I try to make one, it turns out with more of a “Shabby WHAT???” Vibe! However, this card turned out better than I had planned. It features an eclectic buffet of items from my digi stamp collection and stamping supplies stash, merging all the bits and pieces into one sweet card!

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Dis Digi Stamps (Teddy Rose) The Rosie Bear digi is retires, but this one is very similar and equally CUTE!

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white and silver gel pens

·   Front Sentiment- a free digital stamp from DDDoodles (LOVE Pass it on…)

·   Silver Filigree photo corners- Hobby Lobby

·   Inside Sentiment. Eureka Stamp “Happy Valentine's Day” is no longer available, but  an assortment of other Eureka  stamps can be found HERE

·   Sookwang double-sided tape- Available from several sources on the web.

·   Upcycled LOVE postage stamp, rectangle of pink paper with filigree frame (from my scrapbook stash), patterned papers, other misc. items and tools from my stash.
