Farewell to Fifth Avenue
Today's post is another in my series of Fond Farewells. This time we're bidding adieu to Fifth Avenue Floral. This was the very FIRST stamp set I ever bought. I purchased it to use for my brother's wedding invitations, which I volunteered to make after having tried stamping for all of 10 minutes! I had no idea what I was getting myself into! Suffice to say this stamp set has been VERY well used! The design for this card was inspired by a contest winner in a recent issue of Stampin' Success, our demonstrator magazine. Check this out...
Pretty simple, eh? This card took me less than 10 minutes to create. I started with the rich razzleberry card base and then stamped the flower image in Versamark. I then heat embossed the images using melon mambo embossing powder. I added a bit of ribbon, the sentiment, stamped in rich razzleberry ink and viola...quick and easy card. Of course, I couldn't resist doing a little something on the inside, so I stamped the same floral image in melon mambo ink on a piece of whisper white cardstock and adhered it inside the card. Although this stamp set will disappear from the catalogue come June 1st, it is one I will most certainly keep in my stash...it's just too pretty to let go!
