Stamping Art With Heart

This month I wanted to show my clubbers a great little box that opens and stores flat, along with a great card.  Have a look!

This card uses two retiring stamp sets, Sew Seasonal from page 127 and Sampler Sayings on page 187 in the Idea Book & Catalog.  I loved the way that the flowers resembled blackeyed susans, my grandmother's favorite flower.  I used to pick them for her when I was a little girl!  Here we used different bits of our On Board pieces to make frames for the word "Friendship" and colored them with Old Olive Craft ink.  The Aida Background stamp suits the theme of this card too.  What do you think?

This box uses the Watercolor Vine Jumbo Stampin' Around wheel with Mellow Moss ink on Mellow Moss card stock. Then we layered some of the Recollections paper (p 208) before tying up with ribbons.  We also stamped with Watercolor Minis (p118) which is also retiring on June 30th.  This set will be sorely missed!
