Retiring Stamp Highlight - Incredible Like You

This past Sunday I decided to create a card on Facebook Live, featuring a retiring stamp from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Occastions catalog.

This stamp set has not been used enough in my craft room, and when I looked at it again I loved the flowers. There are so many possibilities with the adorable set.

When I first had the card in my head, I was going to fussy cut the leaves as well. Sadly that did not work out the way I had envisioned. I came up with a plan "B" while live, that happens alot to me hehe.

I also wanted to use a couple of the retiring in-colors, Lemon Lime Twist and Powder Pink. I absolutely love this color combo, and it scrams spring to me. I also used some retiring designer series paper.

I did end up fussy cutting three flowers, and two were popped up with dimensionals. I have posted my live to YouTube, enjoy as I struggle in the middle with the flowers. And I will be on Facebook Live next Sunday, so stop by and join us.
