Wow - what a detailed sketch at this week's Retro Sketch #168! I can't wait to break it down!
For today's card I definitely wanted to use another new stamp set - one I've been eying since the I first saw the catty: hostess set Best Thoughts. I've been wanting to color that flower image ever since! I also tried out some new DSP, from one of our awesome 6" x 6" packs - Pretty Petals. I love this because I can usually get what I need for the card, AND the envelope flap from one sheet - YES! So handy.
And yes, those are the new White Perfect Accents, and yes, I colored them with the now-discontinued Old Olive Blendies. Frankly, I'm guessing that's exactly what these embellishments were made for, but now they're kinda superfluous without the blendies line. I'm choosing to believe that this is yet another indication that SU! continues to work on bringing us back some alcohol markers as soon as they can. That will make these like candy dots in multiple sizes - something else I've longed for ever since the dots came out!
