Here is the current stamp set I am working my way through. I think this is one that is going to find a new home too. For me, the images are too crammed together. Not enough white space in them so they look all smooshed to me. Well, how to make them work? I do like the way this turned out; I just don’t think I want to put that much thinking power in to HOW to make this set work.
I stamped with Versamark and then embossed with Gold Detail powder. I stamped the images again with a Forest Foliage Green to give some dimension to the gold. Run an oval die over them in embossing mode through the big shot. Add the boughs by cutting a slit in the middle of the two pine cones. Now that looked funny with a slit sitting right there so what to cover it up with to keep the look of the whole thing. Cardstock won’t work. A-ha! Vellum to the rescue. I cut that sentiment apart in the set. That is the one piece of this set that I like but have never used b/c it’s just too chunky. Cut apart, I will use all three parts. Now add a bit of faux stitching and yeah, I would definitely be happy to send this card out.
This card fits the Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says of Emboss It.

It is kind of an awkward set. What's with that cat? He doesn't seem to fit in there at all. I think you did well with such odd stamps. I remain impressed that you are trying out all your stamps.
