Today I decided to make a card using one of the sets that isn’t actually retiring because I’m grateful that it isn’t – Acorny Thank You!

Although I didn’t get completely off the retired list! I used the stamps with versamark to create a fun background on mossy meadow card stock. I just put pairs of the photopolymer stamps each onto a block and stamped randomly away ensuring that some of the images were off the edges of the card to give a sense of the pattern continuing. Since I had the versamark out, I also used it for the sentiment which is again from the Watercolor Wishes set and I heat embossed using the gold embossing powder. I cut this out using the retiring ovals framelits and made a frame using gold foil and the next size up oval framelit. Construction was a simple matter of using multipurpose glue and then popping up the sentiment with dimensionals.

It didn’t make the photo, but I used my envelope liners and the retired backgrounds DSP to dress up the envelope.

I can’t believe now that I was reluctant to get the Acorny Thank you set – I couldn’t see much use for it, but it’s one of my favourite sets now. I’m sure that this will happen to me again with the new catalogue!

See you tomorrow,
