I was really sad to hear that Bodacious Bouquet is retiring. It has been one of my fave sets since I became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I know I will find some new favourites in the new releases, too, and space has to be made for them, but I will definitely miss my trusty old friend, Bodacious Bouquet! I created this card back in 2007 and it has long since arrived with its recipient, but I wanted to share it with you, because I really love the summery look of this card and I thought it was a perfect pick-me-up with all the rain we have been having here lately! The technique I used on the background stamping is called "faux embossing". It's so easy to do -you just stamp your image in the same colour ink as the cardstock you are using and then use the stamp-a-majig to stamp again in whisper white, but you off center the second stamp image slightly. I love the look it gave to this card.
