River City Rubber Works

I couldn't wait to get these 2 new stamps!! The first one is "Ladies with Purses", with the sentiment "All dressed up, and nowhere to go." I had a black and white or sepia image in my mind, but I ended up coloring them! I think they are a hoot!! I used Real Red Paper, SU dp, Gina K Pure Luxury White, Prismacolor Pencils, Pebbles Chalk, a Prima and a Gem Brad.

The next card is "The Girls", with the sentiment "Growing old can be fun if you do it with the right people." I used Elegant Eggplant, Lavender Lace, and a piece of the Wax Resist Embossed papers that I made last week. (White glossy paper with Lavender Lace & Brilliant Blue.) I also used my Prismacolor pencils, Pebbles Chalk, and 2 different ribbons.

I do want to try more of these, but I need to get the right color of ink to stamp with.

I had a really nice Mother's Day yesterday. We went to Wausau to visit my Mom. We all went out to eat an early dinner, then back to my Mom's for Ice Cream cake to also celebrate 2 birthdays. My daughters and Grandson gave me a beautiful plant and gorgeous earrings and necklace. My Mom had a really good time also.
I hope everyone else had a great Mother's Day!!!
