Sunday Showcase: Best of Retiring Stamp Sets Part 2

Hi Stamping Friends!

Today is Part 2 of highlighting a few of my favorite projects using stamps
that will soon be retiring.  Be sure to check out Part 1 from last Sunday.  There are only a couple more weeks left to
order the ones on your wishlist before they are gone for good!   

Retired Stamp Lists—Stamps available through June 3, 2013.

________________________________________________________________________

I had A LOT of trouble narrowing down to only one project from today's stamp sets, so I'm showing two cool, or even three cool, projects for each one!  These
are definitely some of my favorites from the retiring list. 

All of these projects have been featured previously, so click on the
link below each photo for complete details and supply lists.

French Foliage Poinsettias

French Foliage—This a gorgeous set that is classic and timeless!  I love the realistic leaves and coordinating images that are so collage-friendly for layering!  This is a very versatile set for all kinds of occasions and techniques.  The rainbow masking was a great way to use the images as silhouettes.  And I simply adore the way you can adhere the leaves together to create a beautiful poinsettia flower!  VERY sad to see this one go!

Artistic etchings shimmer patina 

Artistic Etchings French Patina

Artistic Etchings Emboss Resist

Artistic Etchings—This is another set that has wonderful collage components.  I've had so much fun using it for my Faux Patina cards and emboss reisist techniques, like the one shown above.  I've enjoyed the Parisian trend, but now it seems to be making its way out.

Elements of Style Purse & Card Gift Set

Elements of style 120045L

Elements of Style—I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE every image in this beautiful set and THIS one is gonna hurt!  It's one set that I've never gotten tired of, and have been using consistently ever since it came out.  The flower image is way more versatile than I ever imagined it would be, and the vine flourish creates pretty backgrounds.  Even the "Life Is A Matter of Moments" works for so many special events.  I may not be able to let this one go.

Snow Much Fun Window Sheet Card

Snow Much Fun—As far as snowmen sets go, this is THE BEST one I've ever owned in my 10 years of stamping!  Fat snowman, skinny snowman, Christmas tree, fun sentiments—everything you need for a cute Christmas card!  I'll sure miss watercoloring that striped scarf!  It was snow much fun!
