Oldies but goodies refers to any stamps we have not used in 6 months...... I find this a great inspiration to get out stamps that I have not used.....
I have this gorgeous stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs Happy Birthday set that I bought- I think a year ago....... I broke it out of it's case tonight to make my Aunt a 90th Birthday card. What was I waiting for??? I colored the image with Copic markers and added a touch of Creative Inspirations paint to highlight the centers of the flowers. I made the ribbon from white rayon seam binding with Rose Red SU reinker. I will be making a few more of these cards- one for each of my sisters, one for my Mom.......

The Design Diva's are a group of stampers on Facebook and we have a monthly Blog Hop using images that are greater than 6 months old. Our Title Acronym stands for: Divine, Inspirational, Virtuous, Artistic (or annointed) sistahs! Our group originated at Splitcoaststampers back a little over 2 yrs ago and has recently branched out to the new Facebook group. (I just joined a few months ago- so am a newbie to the group....).
The blog you arrived from is my dear blogging sis Vicki- she sends me many appreciated blessings! My blog is # 8 of 18 stops , so you are just about 1/2 way through the hop. Now, on to visit CINDY.

Shelly, this is just so pretty! Love the image! Hope Bryan is recovering nicely!
That is a gorgeous stamp! Wow, that's really pretty. Are you like me when you find stuff like that and wonder how it got moved to the "don 't use often" pile?
A beautiful card. Such a lovely image. Thank you for joining us at Incy Wincy.
