Neglected Stamps, Part II

Hi, everyone! Yesterday I pulled out an under-used stamp set, Simply Said, for my Color Challenge card. That got me to thinking: I have so many sets, papers and tools that I don't use -- they get pushed to the side when the latest and greatest set, paper or tool comes along. So, I've decided to make this week a Neglected Items Week! When I saw today's Sketch Challenge, this set was the first to come to mind. Heartfelt Thanks was THE set to have a year or so ago, and there were samples all over the place... now I hardly ever see it. It is truly one of my favorite sets, and it deserves a little more love than I've been giving it! Here it is, combined with Le Jardin paper (another neglected item) -- I was pleased to see that it coordinates very well with the Pretty Petals background stamp!

On the center panel, I stamped the flower image twice in Versamark, then I did Poppin' Pastels over it. I used my finger to apply Stampin' Pastels directly to the Versamark. I then added the sentiment and sponged around the edge. For the flower in the circle, I stamped the image in Always Artichoke then watercolored with an Aquapainter and inks (So Saffron and Bashful Blue). I added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the center. I pierced down the side of the vertical panel, then I added ribbon and brads. The center panel and circle are mounted on Dimensionals.

Here's my challenge to you -- dust off those unused supplies and get stamping! You just might fall in love all over again! :) Thanks for visiting -- have a great day!
