Time to use retired stamps and paper! We all have stamps we purchased, but never used. This is one of mine..
This is such a beautiful and forgiving set. I had some technical issues, but was able to easily cover them with artful additions like extra butterflies and greenery. You would never know there is a pawprint sized crease in the card!
Use your Stamparatus to stamp. You may need to do this a couple times to get it dark enough. Use your Blends...pineapple punch, mango melody, highland Heather, real red, granny apple green, mossy meadow, call me clover. I used another brand Turquoise.
Stamp again on scrap paper. Choose the flowers you want to highlight, color and cut out. For the ones on the edge, cut some extra and shape the remainder of the partial petals. Outline in black the part you added after it has been colored otherwise it will run. Highlight with Wink of Stella. Adhere with dimensionals. Hopefully you can see the Wink of Stella in the photo. It is gorgeous!
Select your butterfly and color. I used the mangos and lt pumpkin pie.
Select your die greeting and adhere. I think this could be used for a variety of cards.
Thanks for looking! Please leave a comment if you liked it.

I am wondering if this is a SU stamp set/matching dies, as I can see you are using other SU products, but this stamp set is not familiar to me. I do have a number of SU sets but not from the past several years--I do love what I have from SU and will be using no matter if the products are retired. I love seeing that you are using retired products!
This stamp set is GORGEOUS, and your coloring is beautiful! I love how you have popped up some focal flowers and butterflies, really adds great texture and dimension, so beautiful!!! Loving the hello die-cut, a perfect color to use for it and have it matching a paper layer as well as some ink on the stunningly beautiful florals--I also love the sparkle you have added to this die-cut, it adds more dimension to your sentiment and sparkle is always a great thing! A truly WONDERFUL card that I have favorited.
Later today (Sunday, September 13th), I will be listing this card in my CAS Favorites.
This is so cheery and bright, whoever you gift this will feel very special indeed!!!

I probably would have kept this stamp if I had seen your card back in the day. Beautifully made, and so different from every other card I saw (or made) with it!
