Saying Goodbye

It is retirement time for many SU! Stamp Sets. I have 11 stamp sets that are retiring from the current catalog. I also have several of the hostess sets and many from the mini catalog that we will not know the fate for some time. I will keep several of them for my personal collection and future use, but most of them will go to the sale pile.

Flaky Friends is one I plan to keep for awhile. It is one of the first stamp sets I ever bought. It does make me sad that it is retiring. So to honor it I made a "blue" snowman card. The background was also stamped with a retiring set, On the Spot.

Everything on the card is either Whisper White or Brilliant Blue.

I am also loosing Merry, Merry from my Holiday stamp sets. It also stamped the background of this one with On the Spot. Both cards used a tone-on-tone effect. I stamped the background in the same color ink as the cardstock itself. The little words on the Merry, Merry card are from the same stamp set. I cut the sentiment apart into little pieces. I used my new stickles on the ends of the word "Merry".
