CCMC Saturday Blog Hop - Retiring Stamp Sets

Good Morning, Stampers!

It's another fun Create with Connie and Mary

Saturday Blog hop today!

This week, we are saying "good-bye" to our favorite retiring stamp sets.

I actually have (3) sets that I am bummed to be losing.

I love the two-step stamping of the Picture Perfect images 

but I am really sad to lose my two background/filler sets -

 Gorgeous Grunge and Perpetual Birthday Calendar!

So, for my card, I used all three sets!

The background is created easily with stamps, inks and

a stampin' spritzer. I spritzed the watercolor paper with water

and began stamping the different images from both Gorgeous 

Grunge and Perpetual Birthday Calendar in bright colors and

let it dry completely. Then, I stamped the humming bird and rose

onto Whisper White cardstock, cut and adhered them

to the card front along with the sentiment using Stampin' Dimensionals.
