A New Old Faithful

I think my new “old faithful” stamp set is Embrace Life. An “old faithful” stamp set is one that you can pull out and use when you’re in a bind and have to pull together a card super-quick. It really lends itself to a variety of occasions and color combinations. What’s even better is it’s a flower set that’s suitable for masculine cards too!

This is a card that I presented at a recent home workshop. The Canvas background stamp was inked with my Mellow Moss Classic Stampin’ Pad and then stamped on to the card front. The fern image was stamped on to the Whisper White cardstock using my Black StazOn pad and then colored with my Mellow Moss Stampin’ Write Marker. It was matted on to Basic Black cardstock and then accented with two Mellow Moss eyelets. The “embrace life” greeting was stamped on to a piece of scrap paper and then punched out with my Key Tag Punch. Since I’m a self-proclaimed ribbon junkie, of course I had to add some Black grosgrain before I finished this project!
