Best of the Retirement List Elements of Style

Are you read y for a look back at the Elements of Style stamp set?  I am sad to say that it is on the Retirement List.  

This was a card holder I made for a class featuring this stamp set.  Don't ya just love a Black, White and Red ensemble? 

Here is what the inside of the card holder looks like.

These are   two of the cards that were inside the holder.  Check out the itty bitty hummingbird on the card on the right.  We used shrink plastic to shrink him done to size.  If you are wondering how I colored the roses, I used a cotton swab and just rubbed on the color.

I love that Stazon ink can be used to stamp on window sheets.  It was fun making the butterfly for this card.  I used the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die to cut out the butterfly.  

This may be one of my very favorites using this set.  I just love the clear embossing powder on the black card stock.  I need to use this idea more often.  

Thanks for letting me trip down the Elements of Style Memory Lane!  Remember that this stamp set will not longer be available after June 3. so be sure to order it before it is too late.
