With the Last Chance List upon us, I've taken the opportunity to look through my samples. Since I don't often part with samples--whether my own, swaps, or cards people have sent me, I have a few to look through. :-)
Anyway, my favorite floral set that is retiring this year is Embrace Life. This is one of those sets I've used SO much. In fact, I did a search on my blog and was surprise to find only one post using this set. (See that HERE.)
So I took a few pictures to share with you. This first card above is actually pretty simple. The flower is colored using Watercolor Wonder Crayons and an Aqua Painter. I cut it out and added a half back pearl from the Pretties Kit (also being discontinued).
For the scallop border along the side, I actually used my corner rounder punch with the guard taken off. . . . Why? Well, I made this card BEFORE the scallop edge punch was available. Seriously. :-) If I were to make this card again, I'd use that scallop edge punch!


Thanks for taking a trip down memory lane with me! Remember if you don't have this set, you'll want to order it before June 30th!

These are very pretty cards! Very Asian looking. Love that.
Allison, these cards are beautiful. This is one of my favorite sets, I'm sad that it is retiring, but I will still keep it anyway. :)
OH WOW, these are simply beautiful. I'm sad as well that this set is retiring.
TFS
