Good Morning Fellow Stampers -
Happy Thursday! It's been a strange week, with a number of curve balls thrown my way. I'm feeling a little discombobulated at the moment . . . I think I need a nice quiet weekend!!
It's my Change-Up Thursday; the day I take to just do whatever strikes my fancy. I'm excited to showcase a soon retiring stamp set today that I really love. Both for it's simplicity and elegance!
Bordering Blooms is a photopolymer stamp set with 4 basic "borders" of flower and leaf combinations with so many possibilities.
I made a set of 3 cards today to showcase this stamp set specifically, because I just love it so much! I am sad to see it leaving us.
This CAS (clean and simple) card is made primarily with Whisper White cardstock and only one layer of white on white.
The simple border is stamped down the left hand side in Old Olive, and then I used my favorite little punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (also retiring), to create some sweet little daisy flower with a Sky Blue enamel dot center. The sentiment is from the Birthday Blossoms stamp set (thank goodness this one isn't retiring ;-) ), and is stamped in Soft Sky. A sweet, simple, and quick card.
This card is a CAS card as well, but rather than "white space" we're using "black space" - Basic Black to be precise!
With a "pop" of Daffodil Delight, this card is truly delightful!!
The flower outlines and the sentiment (from the soon retiring Hello Life stamp set) are stamped with Versamark and embossed with White embossing powder.
I don't have Daffodil Delight embossing powder for the flower centers, but I did find another brand in my drawer, "Lemon" Magic Dust by Timeless Images.
The effect is really quite stunning -- a real "wow" !!!
This simple card (not showing up quite as well in my picture here) is Whisper White with Calypso Coral accents. I colored the leaves and petals with stampin' write markers, and the laid in a gold glimmer on the flower petals with Gold Wink of Stella -- I love the effect; almost oriental!
The beautiful sentiment is from the Cottage Greetings stamp set -- thankful this one is carrying forward.
I think this is a fun set of cards and showcases this stamp set beautifully. Don't miss out on these soon retiring items : Bordering Blooms, Hello Life, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Daffodil Delight 1/8" cotton ribbon, Calypso Coral Thick Bakers Twine.
