Here's another card for Sharon's Stamp Simply challenge today, and also for the Limited Supply challenge!
The LSC was to use old stuff, and this old SAB stamp set qualifies for that! I kept it because I like those little flowers, but it has been sorely neglected for awhile. I used Taylor's suggestions and got out my old Watercolor Wonder crayons (the old, original set of 48, too!) to color the flowers. I looked over my cardstock and decided that True Thyme was a color hardly used in my studio, so I paired it with Cameo Coral which also doesn't get used very often! For embellishment, I used one of these clippies from the Hodgepodge Hardware. I don't necessarily hoarde those things, but more often just forget they're there. Sometime in the past year I bought an EK Success concave corner punch that's just a little bigger than the ticket corner, and I like it better because it's slightly bigger. So I actually used my old ticket corner punch on this, also since it was gathering dust. AND because I used my Nestabilities so much, I decided to use my good old Marvy punches on this instead. How's that for rockin' to the oldies?
Sharon's Stamp Simply challenge today is Foreground/Background! Use a stamp to create a background that you also use in your foreground or focal image. For more details on that challenge, please check out Sharon's blog... Blogs at Splitcoaststampers

You rocked it pretty darn good. I was on a self imposed sabbatical when the Thyme was released, so I don't even have any - but from your photo, it looks terrific with the coral (a favorite of MINE, anyway). Card looks really great!

I'm so glad to see so many of you hoarding and hanging onto some of the same things I have. I probably stock piled that true thyme when they were fixing (yeah, I'm from Texas) to get rid of it. Love the card, Tammy!
