I used the sketch from the Sunday Stamps challenge and the colors from the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge. The Retro Rubber and SUO challenges provided the theme.
This stamp set was one of my favorites when it appeared in the Stampin' Up! 2017 Occasions Catalog. As with any 2-step stamping set, it can be tricky to get all of the stamps lined up just right, but this one is random enough to be pretty forgiving. The vase never seems to stamp as solidly as I'd like, but I've come to appreciate the texture that comes from using an old fabric stamp pad.
A couple of the flowers didn't stamp quite right, which provided an opportunity for embellishment! I added the rhinestones for camouflage.
This card is being entered in the following challenges:
