Central Park is retiring!

That's right. On January 1st, Stampin' Up! will be retiring many of their dormant sets (see full list below). Included in this list is Central Park- a set of three stamps that includes a floral silhouette (used in this card) and some leaf images.

I simply love this set (see it in another post here)and I am sad to see it go. I decided I needed to ink it up one last time.

Some notes about this card:

• I clear embossed the image onto Whisper White before using a sponge to apply Crushed Curry, Really Rust, Ruby Red, and Rich Razzleberry (from bottom to top). TIP: Be sure to start with your lightest color and work your way up.
• The sentiment, from Garden Greetings (another retiring set!), was inked using Basic Black and cropped using the word window punch.
• To add some pizzaz, I created a flower using Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Grosgrain. I simply snipped each end of the ribbon and pulled the top thread on either side to cinch it up. I used glue dots to secure it.
• A More Mustard (kind of close to Crushed Curry, right?) button was used to dot the center.

Keep in mind that the following sets will no longer be available after January 1st. To place an order, click here.
