Out with the Old...

 

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for May where we are preparing for the retirement of some Stampin' Up! products.  Though it may be goodbye to some very loved supplies, it will make room for the much anticipated new catalog products.  We hope you enjoy the Pals' creative projects.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Sherrie Gross at Stampin' Sunshine, number 25 on the Pals Hop.  If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

Here is my goodbye tribute to the lovely Apothecary Art stamp set. I think this stamp is just so beautiful. It's really easy to work with and lends itself to so many possibilities. I will miss it!

I used Baked Brown Sugar to stamp the image. I then used Calypso Coral ink to color in the flowers. The image is layered onto Calypso Coral card stock which was embossed with the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions embossing folder.  There is also a bit of Chevron Ribbon in Calypso Coral added for contrast.  The card base is Baked Brown Sugar. Overall, it's quite a simple card!

The next stop is Mary Fish at Stampin' Pretty, number 27 on the Pals Blog Hop!  Thanks for visiting; I hope to see you on next month’s Pals Hop!
