I was asked to make a special Mother's Day card, and I thought of this set. It has a beautiful softness to it, with the blending of colors as a two-step stamp set. Here's the card I made, blending old with new.
I blended a lot of new with old to make a more modern style card. The card base is Crumb Cake embossed with the new Modern Mosaic EF. It's hard to see here, but I lightly stamped the small flower inside some of the mosaics using Crumb Cake ink. Here's a closer look.
I stamped the roses with Strawberry Slush from the new In Color Collection. I stamped off three times for the bottom layer, two times for the middle then directly stamped for the top. I cut them out by hand as well as the leaves and small violet flowers. The leaves are Pear Pizazz with Old Olive and the small flowers are Wisteria Wonder. I layered all the floral elements on the largest doily die cut from the Delicate Doilies Sizzlet L. The ribbon is Pear Pizzaz seam binding that I got off the clearance rack awhile ago. The greeting is from a retired hostess set from last year's catalog. I stamped it with Soft Suede on Whisper White and made a banner out of the strip of paper using my 1" Square punch.
I just loved making this card, brought back lots of early stamping memories. I used this set s lot when I first signed up with Stampin' Up! I hope you enjoyed the flashback to 2003 today! See you tomorrow for See it Again Saturday!
If it doesn't move...stamp it!!

Very pretty card! I love this old set and obviously need to pull it out again. The new Strawberry color looks luscious and I definitely like that new embossing folder! :)

This is just incredible! Roses in Winter was such a beautiful stamp set, and the new colors make it look so fresh!
This was the first stamp set I purchased and was so glad to see you use it. Love your card and thanks for reviving this sentimental set for me.
