I used these same colors with this same stamp set recently, but I don't care. They work perfect with it! They are so bright and cheery and make me happy looking at them. And who says you can't do repeats anyway? ;) There are no rules when it comes to crafting! Well, unless you are doing a challenge I guess but that is not a rule on any of these challenges, or any challenges I have seen for that matter. lol
I decided to also use my favorite retiring embossing folder, Lacy Brocade. I still can't believe they are retiring this one. I have always wished it was a vertical folder though because I do a lot more vertical cards than horizontal cards and it is not symmetrical this way, which bugs me a bit. :) Looking at this stamp set now, I just realized that these are pretty much the only two images I ever use out of the set! I hate it when I do that. I need to be more conscious of that and start using all of the images in my set so I feel like I am really getting my money's worth!

This is really pretty! I do love these colors together! And I love how you used the vellum! So clever! Thanks for playing the challenge at Create with Connie and Mary!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors that you chose to highlight this retiring set (one of my favorites as well)! The vellum is perfect for the sentiment and I will miss having the Lacy Brocade EF in our current catalog...Thanks for sharing with us at SUO Challenges!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. The vellum overlay softens the bright colors just enough. And I am in agreement on the horizontal design of the embossing folder. So glad you joined us this week at Create with Connie and Mary.
