Yesterday the Retired Stamp Set list was released so if you haven’t seen it yet; click on the picture in the right hand side bar under the Bow Maker.
On of my favorite stamp sets to retire is the Inspired by Nature #111656 $23.95. We just used this set in my techie class last week Monday to create this card.
The technique we used on this card was the faux clouds or scalloped sky technique. This is done using a punched scallop circle or oval and sponging the color away from the punched piece and moving the piece around on your card stock to create the look of a beautiful sky. Begin at the top of your card stock piece and work your way to the bottom. Very simple but gorgeous results.
I love the look of the grass from the Inspired by Nature set; great masculine card or like it says just thinking of you.
Make sure to get your retired orders in before the end of May. The new catalog comes out June 1st. I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us! LOVE IT!
Happy Stamping and Have a Great Day!
