Can Hardly Believe the News! + Nostalgia via SU!
Hi all! Have you checked out the ongoing Hope You Can Cling To challenges that are in full swing over at Splitcoaststampers? It’s a great way to get your creativity fired up, and you’re welcome to join in!
Use a leaf or leaves on your creation is today’s HYCCT1307 Peaceful Leaves challenge. My all-time favorite leaf stamp is a part of the long-retired Botanicals stamp set from Stampin’ Up!
Since I had already browsed through my old favorite stamps, I was naturally tempted to pair the leaf with SU’s Weathered background.
Ahhhhh yes! As long as I was in the throes of stamping nostalgia, the next obvious choice was to use a favorite technique. Enter gold embossing for the leaf … and why not the edges as well! As you can see, once started I was having too much fun to stop!

Oh I know, Bev. Some of my old favorite retired sets are still sitting prominently on my shelf. Will never part with them! lol This gold embossing on that fabulous leave is gorgeous!!
Your card is so elegant and pretty. I don’t think the lovely botanicals and leaves ever go out of style. It’s a shame they retire some of them since the newbies won’t be able to have them in their collections as well.
Thank you for sharing your lovely work! 🙂
