I love the whimsy of these stamps! Today's card uses the flower cart. I wanted something soft and pastel for spring. Here's the card I did.
I went with a simple layout. The DSP is from Domestic Goddess (got it off the Clearance Rack!!) and matched perfectly with retired Sky Blue. I adhered the DSP to the CS then used Scalloped border from the set of embossing edges in the Occasions catalog called Needlepoint Border. You can see it better below.
The border added a nice touch to the card while still keeping it pretty simple. Another subtle touch I added to the CS was paper piercing. I have a close up for you to see.
I adhered my focal point then used a template to paper pierce only on the CS around the top edge. The image was stamped on Whisper White with StazOn Black Ink and colored with a blender pen and ink pads. I kept the colors soft. The flowers were colored with Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, and Perfect Plum. I added in punched flowers in the same colors with a pearl in the center. The greeting was stamped in StazOn black on the DSP next to the flower cart. Overall I was really pleased with the simple design and soft colors. This is a fun set for spring, I may have to do a couple more designs before I put it back on the shelf!
Thanks so much for stopping and checking out my flashback to 2001. Tomorrow is Saturday, so come back to see what layout I have re-visited.
If it doesn't move...stamp it!!

Love the colors and embossing and paper piercing! That stamp set would be great on tile coasters too!
I am still wanting to do this challenge with you, I been crazy busy since you started it though, lol. This is the first time you used a set I don't have. I love seeing all these older sets. Great card.
