We've got an 'oldest supply' challenge for you at Shopping our Stash this week - we want you to dig out your oldest birthday stash, use it, and tell us about it!
Now, to be 100% honest, I may have older birthday stamps somewhere in the basement, but I had no intention of mounting that kind of search (mounting! stamps! not enough coffee yet! lol). This adorable stamp is definitely the oldest stamp I have in my crafty space. Even washing it with the trusty dish soap won't restore this baby's cling mount. I gave it a new twist by watercolouring it:
Supplies: flying piggy stamp from The Greeting Farm; Palette Noir ink; Distress inks for watercolouring; sentiment from Stamplorations; Paper Smooches cloud dies
I hadn't used this guy in a while because I was really out of ideas to make him different - but I love how this turned out!
So what's your oldest birthday schtuff??
xoxo,
Jessi

ACK!! That wee piggy is totes adorbs! And of course I love those clouds!! Fab job sistah!
He is so cute! Love the water colored background, too.
PS: Did you ever stop to think how "dirty" stamping is? And not in the inky sense. We mount stamps, we huff on inked stamps, and I know there are more, but my sleep-deprived brain refuses to cough them up. I'll be back if I ever think of them.
Leslie may have just grossed me out a little. :D
