My favorite antique stamp

Hello everyone in blogland,

I love to use some of my old stamps on my cards.
It's not that I don't like new stamps (you can tell by my ever growing stash) but once in a while an old stamp just seems to fit!!! Especially one like this where the image looks very vintage.
I remember when I was a girl. I LOVED coloring books and paper dolls. This image looks even older than that, but in a way, it's not and it somehow reminds me of many hours spent oloring pages like this.

As I have mentioned before, I do a challenge with a friend and this time the letter to use is a U !!!
A U????? What do you do with a U????
I thought I wanted to do some kind of a critter, but after researching I just couldn't come up with anything but a UNICORN!!!  I don't happen to like unicorns!!!
So, back to the ho-hum word "UMBRELLA".  I know, not very interesting, but it is a U!!!
AND it just so happens that this is the only umbrella I have in my stash.

So here it is:




Those cheeks are pink.... somehow I couldn't get them to show up as pink!!!
Isn't she a cutie???? I just love her!!!!
I bought the stamp used about 10 yrs ago and have only used it a few times. But she''s still one of my favorites!!!

Here's the challenges I entered:

So comes the end of my post.
Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed my vintage stamp.

Love & hugs,
elena
