Upsy Daisy and Inspired by Nature are two of my favorite SU stamp sets ever! They both made the retirement list this year but I won't be parting with them for sure. They get a permanent place on the shelf marked "retired but still fabulous!" Now that I think of it I have a lot of friends like that - retired but still fabulous!
And there is a fabulous sketch this week to try at Freshly Made Sketches!
Such a bright, cheery card for a rainy day here in New England! I love those two sets too and hate to see them on the chopping block. Great take on the sketch!
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, LOVE this card! And your phrase is a great way to "mark" a shelf or two! :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I especially love the colours and that cute little yellow button :)
ReplyDeleteOh I have some favorites like that too! What a pretty use of these sets, Linda!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Linda ~ love your ribbon accent and button ~ oh and the embossing...well I guess, I love everything about this card ~ thanks for sharing and enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I love this...all the texture, patterns and embossing makes for a really special card!
ReplyDeleteYour posts always make me smile Linda! And your fav stamp sets are among my favs too. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteLinda I couldn't agree with you more, and this card is FABULOUS!Just love the colors and technique and textures! Wow. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThese are TWO FAB sets that will never leave my hands either.
Linda, this is beautiful! I love the combination of how you placed everything including the embossing. Your an inspiration
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning. You never cease to amaze me. I just love the way you sponged the colors for the embossed image and the color combination is perfect.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful in blue! Love the emboss resist! My parents are retired and still fabulous!
ReplyDeleteA little emboss resist and a lovely stamp make for a very pretty card! I also have a stash of retired stamps that I'll never part with! Along with lots of other retired stuff!!
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle, Linda... I have tht same shelf in my stamp room. Some sets you just can't part with. Upsy Daisy is one of my faves, too....especially after being really inspired to ink it up after seeing your card. Love everything about this one, from the fab color combo, to the embossing....I could go on and on. This is gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteThose *are* two terrific sets. It's always a shame to say goodbye to SU retiring stuff. I have QUITE a lot of SU stamps that I don't think I will ever part with (and most of them happen to be backgrounds).
ReplyDeleteLove this fresh blue and green combo!
I LOVE the colors you paired on this wonderful card! The patterns work so well together, and I love those embossed daisies!! Gorgeous!

This is beautiful, Linda! I love how you sponged the sky behind the embossed flowers. Thanks so much for stopping by during the Card Creations Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! Love the colors and how you created that stamped image, amazing!
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you on these stamps sets. So sad to see them retire. Totally love what you did with the layers, especially the outlining shadow layer of your circle.
