Retiring Forest Friends

August 3, 2011

During this month you are going to see me using as many stampsets from the retiring list as possible.  I want to get them inky before I send them on to new homes.

Today I am using the Forest Friends stampset for the sketch challenge at Stamping 411.  I started with a base card of Wild Wasabi.  The Whisper White layer was stamped with a greeting from the Curvy Verses stampset using Chocolate Chip ink and then embossed using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  I added 3 Pretty in Pink brads and attached it to the card front.  I inked the tree image using my Chocolate Chip and Wild Wasabi Stampin’ Write Markers and stamped onto Whisper White card.  I stamped the bunny next to the tree using Chocolate Chip ink.  I added a layer of Pretty in Pink card and wrapped this piece with Pretty in Pink 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon.  I cut the largest scallop square from the Scallop Squares Duo Bigz Die using Chocolate Chip card and added it behind the image piece.  I attached the image panel to the card front using dimensionals.  I added a bow tied with the Pretty in Pink 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon using Mini Glue Dots.

I am going to miss this set, its a really fun one for younger children. 

Bye for now, Kris.

    What a sweet card! I think it’s so smart of you to use all your retiring sets before they’re gone. Show them the love!!!
