Bring out the old......again

Well I had a good time at the Trafford Centre yesterday - loads of goodies!! Although it rained all the way back and the temperature was 0 - 1 degree it didn't seem to freeze but there was a lot of spray!!

In keeping with my 'thing' I have about using old stamps and not forgetting them I have used an old Hero Arts wooden stamp for my card today:

Whilst I absolutely love all these 'cute' images like Tilda, Bildmalarna and Digital Delights I do think its nice to do something that isn't as cute now and again.  The sentiment is also Hero Arts and a wooden stamp.  I love wooden stamps but the storage is a problem and acrylic are so easier to position.  The sentiment is actually one long phrase so I had to use a post it to mask it so I could do it to fit on the cutout.  I have coloured with Copics and Prisma Pencils.  Added Glossy Accents to the vase to make it look like glass.  The papers are Nitwits, I actually printed out two others to put on the card but felt I didn't really have enough room without making it look a bit cramped so I didn't bother.  The doily is from my stash as is the ribbon and gems.  I have used Spellbinders Labels Thirteen for the image and sentiment and the flourish is a Marianne die.  The little flower is made by Prima I think its what you would call epoxy??  I would like to enter the following challenges:
