Goodbye Corner Garden

I'm here today to share another favorite retiring item...the Corner Garden background stamp. This is a card we made at my Retiring Favorites Class here on Tuesday.

This stamp is just lovely and so much fun to color! I stamped the image twice...the first time on Wisteria Wonder using Rich Razzleberry ink. The second time with Black Stazon onto Whisper White. The flowers were all watercolored using my Aqua Painters and Classic Ink pooled in the ink pad lids. The birthday greeting is from Petite Pairs...which is also retiring...sniff, sniff. I use that set ALL the time!

To finish the card I just matted the colored piece onto Soft Sky, added a couple Basic Rhinestones and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals lining the image up with the one on the Wisteria Wonder layer.

If you don't already have the Corner Garden background stamp in your collection...GOOD NEWS...the Clear Mount version is discounted during it's retirement for only $12.75. Pick yours up today!

Colorful Corner Garden

I'm back today to share another card created with a brand new stamp set from the new catalog! This is a beautiful, background sized stamp called Corner Garden.

Aren't these flowers pretty? It's a lot of fun coloring them with the Blendabilities! After coloring all I did was add a little detail with some score lines created along the opposite corner of the floral design using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool and a butterfly punched out using the Papillion Potpourri set.

Have a great weekend!
