Best Blossoms bloom again

I know, I know....it's retired, but I just love this set and I think it deserves to get inked again! So it did get inky, and here's the result. I really love the different flowers in this set..it was so versatile. I hope they'll have something like this again.

All products are Stampin Up. I started out with my card base of Bashful Blue card stock. I stamped the Retired Elegant Lace Background Stamp in Bashful blue ink, altho for some reason in the picture it looks darker. My next layer was Certainly Celery c/s with the leaves stamped in Garden Green ink, kissed with Green Galore.
The last layer is Bravo Burgandy c/s layered with Whisper Whit c/s. I stamped the
flowers in Bravo Burgandy ink and leaves are stamped in Garden Green, kissed with Green Galore. I punched a 3/4" circle and halved it...slipping it onto this layer.
I punched a 1/8" hole in it and ran Bravo Burgandy Sheer ribbon thru it. I'm happy with the results. I really hope you like it, too!

I want to thank you for stopping in on my Blog, I really appreciate your comments and emails that I recieve, they really make my day, so thank you very much!!!
I hope I've inspired you to pull out an old set and ink it up, you'll never know
where your mojo will lead you!! hehe

Take care and have a wonderful weekend!! I hope you get a chance to get all inky!!
It's sooooooo much fun! My fingers are usually every color of the rainbow. hehe

Stamping hugs,

Best Blossoms, best blossoms!

Hi All, I love this set! I got a bundle of stamps a few years ago from a cyber friend in California! I was so grateful, but none of them have their label on. I had no idea what this retired set was!! Nancy Riley from "I Stamp" blog recognized it!!! It's "Best Blossoms" I was so thankful for Nancy's "eagle eye"!!! (Thanks again, Nancy!)

Several people have asked mee if I had ued a crimper on my base car. no I didh't!
I actually made the lines with a roller. It's not by Stampin Up. It was just a real cheapy roller. It gave the "crimped" look.

My base card is made with Old Olive cardstock. I stamped the leaves on the base with White Craft Ink. I stamped off twice before stamping on the card. I also rolled the horizontal lines were made by stamping off with a line roller. I applied the line around the edges with the roller as well. I then cut a Rose Red layer and
a Very Vanilla layer. I stamped my flowers in Rose Red and my leaves. I wanted a soft look, so again, I stamped off about 3 times. I made a punch with the word window out of Old Olive and added a yellow mini-brad. Verse is from the Sincere Salutations. I hope you've enjoyed this. I like how it turned out.

Thanks so much for stopping by. It was really fun to make.

Take care and happy stamping!!!
