Well, it rained enough today that we put off going camping for yet another day. The bright spot in the day came when the doorbell rang and a box of brand new SU goodies from the new catalogue was sitting there on the front deck.
What I can't quite believe is that I actually mounted all of the new stamps today - AND, get this, I actually stamped with one of the new sets - ON THE SAME DAY IT ARRIVED IN MY HOUSE! When I saw the sketch challenge posted tonight I chose the new set Beautiful Season. I just love the chickadees that hang around our yard so couldn't resist this set (even though I say "no more Christmas sets" every time a new catalogue is published).
Pretty straightforward - stamped, coloured, added some dazzling diamonds, did a little embossing and layered it all together.
Love this set.
PT: Oops. None on this one! But I used brand new stamps on the day I got them! No wonder I forgot to punch anything!

If I keep seeing cards like this one, I'm going to have to break down and purchase this set. And I already have my Christmas stamp for this year. See what you've done by creating such a beautiful card. ;-) I think you've been on your camping trip by now . . . glad you dodged the rain. TFS this masterpiece.

I bought this set too with my first order from the new catalog! Love what you did with all of the embossing, and your coloring is great. Into my faves!

Doesn't that doorbell chime just a little different when it's a fabby package arriving!?? lol This stamp is so pretty and you colored it beautifully! The embossed sides add the perfect touch! Hope you did make it camping after all and are enjoying it!
