I love this Hostess Set from the new Spring/Summer 2009 Idea Book.
The artwork is simple and the quote by Mother Teresa is inspiring.
I’ve wanted to try stamping with bleach and pulled out this stamp set.
This is what I came up with.
The second photo shows the silver embossing powder.
I think it gives the card an elegant touch.
I hoped the Basic Grey cardstock would coordinate better with the silver EP, but it ‘s too dark for my liking. I think the Going Grey would work better, something that I don’t yet have. You can bet it will be on my next order!
Stamp Set: Echoes of Kindness
Colors: Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, Whisper White, Basic Grey
Accessories: VersaMark, Silver EP, silver brads, Whisper White organza ribbon, household bleach
ETA 2/25/09: So, I started getting my next SU! order together and wanted to add Going Grey cardstock…well, guess what? Stampin’ Up! doesn’t sell Going Grey cardstock individually, it’s only available in the Neutrals Assortment pack and you only get six sheets. Sheesh! I’m kind of bummed out!
