I haven't used this Sweet 'n Sassy Stamp set called Itty Bitties for ages, and since it was created in 2009 I thought it was time to pull it from the cobwebs and make a card with it. I stamped each of the images with Versamark ink, and heat-embossed them each with gold embossing powder; then colored them with red and green glaze markers and a SU! gold paint marker. Next I die cut each image with a MFT stitched square die. I found a piece of dark red shiny card stock I've had for ages and made a card base, then used the rest of it to die cut squares to mat the images. I also used the stitched square dies to make a white panel. In my stash, I found a few pieces of green glitter card stock that closely matched the green on the images so I used a KaiserCraft Merry Christmas die to cut the sentiment. It looks better IRL, but the shine of the cardstock and shine from the gold embossing confused my camera and this was the best edit I could get of the card.
I'll share with the Retro Rubber Challenge #132 - Be there or be square (use squares)
