I have been itching to try out this brand new set that SU gave us at Leadership when we thought the presents were done.....1000 women getting unexpected and gorgeous free stamps....you would have thought we all won the lottery!! Such a fun memory!! ;) I absolutely LOVE this new set and look forward to many more cards with it as it has other neat stamps too.....it's a beauty!! Hope you like my card!! I even said a prayer that something in this weeks inspiration challenge would enable me to use this set!! The background on my card is the stamp used over and over and over - and then vellum on top - NO DP HERE!! My new favorite set!!
PS - SINCE SO MANY ARE ASKING WHEN THIS SET WILL BE AVAILABLE - IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE SUMMER MINI CATALOG- SO IT'S A SNEAK PEEK HERE. THAT WILL BE IN THE MERRY MERRY MONTH OF MAY 2010 - I CAN'T WAIT!!!! (AND ALL THAT CUTTING THAT EVERYONE KEEPS COMMENTING ON, THAT'S WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU MAKE A MESS ON THE BACKGROUND TRYING TO CUT THE PANEL DOWN BEFORE IT'S DRY....A HAPPY ACCIDENT- HAHA)

Been there done that-refering to your messing up so you end up cutting out the image! Though if my messing up turned into a cards like this, I'd mess up every time!!!! This is splendiferous! The background is awesome, using the same stamp, leaving it as is, with vellum over it. Love the scalloped borders too. TFS. : )

Oh, Karen, this is drop-dead GORGEOUS!!! ...and it's one of those cards that I would see on a display board and say, "That's a Karen Barber card!"...stunning, my friend, just stunning! The set is gorgeous too...reminds me of an old SU set...just can't think of the name of it right now. Love those roses!

Karen, I love the black magic technique you are using these days. WOW, the colours and that awesome border punch. Rocking again. TFS and for your encouraging words on my card today, it wasn't easy for me to post it...didn't quite know how it would be recieved for some reason. I didn't want to make a statement, but when we are talking about race...it's hard not to. Hugsxo
