Well, the time has come to say good-bye to one of my very favorite stamp sets – Heartfelt Thanks.  This lovely and super-versatile set has provided the inspiration for so many cards and even scrapbook pages at my Stamp-a-Stacks, workshops, and Stamp Camps for oh, about 4 years now.  So before the curtain falls on it for the final time I just HAD to pull it back out for one more tribute to fond stamping memories at my Stamp-a-Stacks over the weekend.

This card's charm lies in its soft and simple design – in Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery, with a little Night of Navy for the 2-step detail.  (And also on the greeting, which features stamp sets Oval All & On Your Birthday.)

We colored the main flower with the brush tips of Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery Stampin' Write® Markers directly onto the rubber, then stamped, and then stamped the detail over that, aligning it with a Stamp-a-ma-jig.  The floral background is stamped, too – even though at first glance it looks like a printed paper.

If you don't have Heartfelt Thanks yet, but would like to add this staple to your collection, you can still  order it here – through June 30th.  (View the individual images here.)
