A Flower for All Seasons hand stamped card shared by a Godby With Us

Remember the beautiful Stampin' Up! A Flower for All Seasons stamp set? Godby With Us Stamper Carol Ann made this pretty hand stamped card with the now retired stamp set.

Don't you just love her awning? Carol Ann used the Word Window Punch in alternating shades of More Mustard and Bravo Burgundy Card Stock to create her awning.

Also delightful are the three flower pots on the window sill. Carol Ann's card using three of the four stamps from the set. Look at all that pretty color.

Speaking of color, I think Carol Ann watercolored her flowers, flower pots and creatures. If she used markers and got all that shading with them, my hat is off to her.

I find the easiest way to watercolor is with the Aqua Painters. Just love them. The Aqua Painter offers great control over the amount of water needed. Not too much or not enough.

Did you notice, Carol Ann used the Snow Burst Embossing Folder to add texture to her background paper? Nice touch!

Carol Ann's card is full of nice little touches that make her card from pretty to pretty extraordinary. How about that window sill? She used the Scallop Edge Border Punch. What I particularly like is her placement of the 1/16" circle holes. Typically you see them added in the center of each scallop and not between like she did. I will so be using that! Oh, wouldn't Basic Pearl Jewels be pretty on the right card? I want to remember to try this very soon.

Carol Ann purchased the retired A Flower for All Seasons stamp set from my list of well over 100 retired Stampin' Up! stamp sets for sale. And then emailed a picture of her pretty card. A big inky hug to Carol Ann for sharing her card.
