There's a little over a month and these stamp sets will be retiring. It's a Sale a Bration stamp and at the end of March it will no longer be available. But You will be able to find it in my web store after April 1st. If I'm on the ball with getting things entered in the store. It's not as easy as one would think. Taking the photo (not so hard) but entering in the data, weight of the package, what countries I will ship to, price, thumbnail photo that shows up on the store site first (that is where I ALWAYS mess it up!). And sometimes the photos won't go where I want them and the words are all over the place. Some of my items there are such a mess!!! But I keep trying!
Today's card was given to me as a gesture of kindness. My friend Colleen made this card and gave it to me last night at Terri's Technique Tuesday. She said that I'm always giving her cards and she thought she would give me a couple of cards in return. That was SO sweet. I never expect to receive cards from anyone when I give them a card. It's usually extra swap cards but I suppose to them it means more. Kind of like what this card meant to me when Colleen gave it to me! Okay, I get it!! LOL
This card was made using the "So Very Much" and "Avant-Garden" sets.
The base of this card is a folded half sheet of Bermuda Bay. The decorative paper is from the "Blooms & Bliss" Decorative Series Paper (DSP) 12" x 12" pack. I think I used all but a quarter sheet of that color in my pack.
The flowers from the "Avant-Garden" set were stamped using Mint Macaron. "For your kindness" was stamped using Bermuda Bay ink on a scrap piece of Mint Macaron and taped in place.
The focal piece was cut 3-1/4" x 4" and the Bermuda Bay layer was cut 3-1/2" x 4-1/4". It was set in place with Dimensionals.
It's such an elegant looking card. I am going to miss the large "Thank You", just as much as I miss the large "Happy Birthday" one that was retired last year. These are great because they take up a lot of "real estate" and you don't have to decorate them too much because they can pretty much stand alone! So since it will be retiring soon, I will be using it a bit more. Sometimes in doing that, I tend to miss the stamp even more. I just can't win, can I? LOL
