No Longer Neglected

It's been a while since I've used my Priceless stamp set. Not long ago it was my go-to stamp set, but with all of the new stamps I've gotten since the new SU! catalog became available, not to mention the great stuff I've been playing with from Kitchen Sink Stamps, I haven't used it quite as often. I pulled it out for today's SCS sketch challenge and really like what I came up with.

I stamped the large swirl image in Bashful Blue craft ink, then covered it with Iridescent Ice embossing powder (yes, I got a replacement for the heat gun after last week's use by the window installer . . .) . Then I stamped the butterfly image on vellum cardstock and closely trimmed around it. I added a little Dazzling Diamonds to the butterfly wings to go with the sparkly swirl. The butterfly is adhered to the white panel with a glue dot at its center. I added some Dew Drops to the bottom left corner of the panel, too.

The patterned paper panels are from the retired SU! Loves Me paper package. I liked how the dots and swirls complemented the swirl images in the Priceless set.

I added a sentiment from Verve Visual's Uplifting Phrases sentiment set. This is such a fun sentiment set! It's stamped in craft ink that's a darker shade of pink than the cardfront. And while I'm on the subject of Verve Visual, I want to update you on yesterday's near disaster with my new Verve Visual set, Wild Thing. Julee, the owner of Verve Visual, saw my post (here--Verve Visual Valentine) and has offered to send me a replacement for the Cuttlebug-chewed image. How generous of her (and totally unexpected), especially since the damage to the stamp was totally my fault. What great customer service!
