When I saw the Retro Rubber Challenge of anything goes, I decided to break out this set that I bought at a used sale at my stamp store, it is a set of topiary stamps from Close to my heart but there is no name or date on them but since I bought them probably over 3 years ago I know they are old.
After picking out the stamp I started going through papers to get an idea what colors I wanted to go with and I came across this set that was in my advent calendar from Crafters companion, isn't that gorgeous, so purple coloring it is :) I put a little sparkle pen on the flowers, punched out the butterflies and added some gems, cut it out with this oval die and added a tag with stamped sentiment and colored the brad with a marker to match!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today and say Hi,

What a lovely image, Connie! Love the coloring you achieved, too, purple is my fave, lol. Pretty layers as well! Thanks so much for playing at Retro Rubber!
It's beautiful, Connie! I love coloring to match the paper, so it's nice to think ahead like that. The frame is perfect for the feminine stamp, and I love the shading around the inner edges.

That is such a beautiful topiary image and your coloring is fabulous! I also love your pretty background! Happy Spring!
Beautiful coloring and design! Great purchase ... you've certainly brought it to life!
So so pretty with the purple edging. Your colouring is very very nice with the added darkness on the ribbon, and shading of the pot.
Amazing coloring on this wonderful image and you paired it beautifully with that paper. I love the die cut you used too. It is an oldy but goodie die cut.
So pretty. Love the bloggy makeover too xoxo
How pretty in purple! Love.
