I guess the same goes for stamps as with any item - 'One man's trash is another man's treasure'.
At a resent retreat, this basket of fruit stamp was on the 'swap' table along with others for anyone to take. It caught my eye so I borrowed it to stamp for a card, then returned it for someone else to use. I guess it could be considered dated but never too old to go with this scripture.
The stamp is from River City Rubber Works, Fruit, 1998. Here's what I came up with ~
I used Copic markers for the coloring and used the Gina Marie Designs Labels Two for all the die cuts.
What I'd like to point out on this card is there was just a horizontal line under the fruit - no basket or table. So as you can see I took a piece of the background plaid and again the Labels Two die and make it look like a tablecloth or bowl holding the fruit. This trick is also good if you happen to get a nasty ink blob while coloring the bowl or something under your item - look to see if you can turn your dies to cover ~ be creative!

Perfect image to coordinate with the Scripture, Pam. It's great to give older stamps new life! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Word Art Wednesday this week!
