I have made a pact with myself...use every "old" set at least once before you buy a new one! I am sure I have a bazillion dollars worth of stamps in my cupboard..and they never see the light of day..some have never even seen ink! How sad is that!!!! The piece I picked out for the inspirational challenge http://www.etsy.com/listing/35709322...etite-ponytail worked really well with this old hostess set from 2004. It is coloured with prisma pencils and OMS with a tad of glitter for good luck! The punch used is an old Fiskars.

Your card is beautiful!!! I am fairly new to stamping and have never seen this beautiful stamp. It really is gorgeous!!! I love how you have colored it so perfectly and the little bit of shimmer is just like dew drops in the morning! Your layered border punch looks incrediable!!! Truly inspired and VERY pretty card!!!

This is gorgeous. I picked the same thing to be inspired by, but since I have not started, maybe I will go looking again. I love your sweet rose on the plaid.

very pretty Sue, love the touch of sparkle, great border... Good luck with the pact with yourself... Hope you win....lol... I tried it once but I was to weak and gave up. But I do have a bunch(several boxes full) to get rid of to make room for the new ones....that made it all better for me....Love seeing the older set and this is one fabulous rose, wonderful coloring on it too, TFS

I have this old stamp set also. I like how you stamped it on the gingham and it shows through some and that bit of sparkle is so pretty! Those pinks work perfectly together even though you don't know the name.....
