Farewell French Foliage!

One of my absolute all time favourite stamp sets is retiring. And I’m not happy about it! The good news is that it’s on special!

When I first saw this set in the catalogue I really didn’t think much of it. It’s one of those sets that you need to see in use before you can see its potential. And wow what potential it had. Even when I wasn’t using it for the leaves, the splats and the words made fantastic backgrounds and fill-in features. It’s been one of my go to sets for a couple of years now. In fact I had to start making myself not use it just so I got some variety in my creations and my other stamps got a look in. But now it’s time for it to go. I know I’ll still be using it for my own purposes but I’ll be sad that it won’t get to come on outings to workshops and classes with me.

Here’s a look back at some of the fun we had…

 

Teamed with the Mixed Bunch flowers

Teamed with butterflies

Just one leaf and one colour stamped off for variation

Masked ‘especially for you’

A collage on faux silk

 Splats on book covers

In greens

And purples

On a special card

And as a thank you

And this one I didn’t even make

– it was wonder hubby’s first attempt at card-making!

So I know I’m not the only one drawn to this set.

And the kids got in on the act too…this one is Devon’s.

Oh, I love these drips/splats/whatever you want to call them!

Just the words this time, but don’t they make a fantastic background!
