I am still on my quest to use all my old stamps at least once this summer...I may need to extend the time period to the end of the year!!! This is a 2001 SU set called Garden Pleasures. The sentiment says "One is never closser to God than in a
garden". The birds are from Inkadinkado and were stamped in Marvelous Magenta, cut out and attached with a dimensional. The paper is from the SEI company called Kitty's Place. The bee hive, also from Garden Pleasures, was stamped twice, once on the dp and once on white cs with Brilliance black. The one stamped on the white cs was colored with a copic marker, cut out and attached over the one on the dp with a dimensional. A Martha Stewart Punch was used for the butterfly, glittered up with Dazzling Diamonds, and attached with a glue dot. Nestabilities were used for the round and scalloped layers. TFL and have a great day!!!

Thanks for showing us those old retired stamps still have a life. That's always one of my selling points when I sell stamps. They will last forever. And sentiments like these are timeless!!
