Friday Flashback: Nature's Wonders

It's time for another Friday Flashback!  This week's randomly chosen stamp set is Nature's Wonders, which was kinda like a sequel set to Perfect Petals (in fact, they share a stamp case in my craft room).  Somehow I didn't have *any* photos in my archives (haha, I have archives...somehow that still amuses me) using this stamp set so today I have rectified that situation.

First up, I used all four stamps in the set and all the new In Colors to fit in with the current Fab Friday challenge:

So the spotlight thing was kinda neat, punching out pieces of the images, but really my first idea was to use the same stamp multiple times in different colors.  And because I am an overachiever (and I'm procrastinating about cleaning my house, I'm a procrasti-chiever), I made two more cards this morning for today's Flashback.

This is the first time I've used Soft Sky in quite some time, and I think that my ink pad needs more ink (and also I'm sad because this color is just not even a zillionth bit as cool as Baja Breeze).  I was going to put a sentiment on the Soft Sky panel but then I embossed it instead so all my cards today are all-occasion cards with no words on them.

I love dragonfly stuff, so I had to use that stamp today.  The bottom two images are stamped with the new Firm Foam pads and you can see how they look different than the top two, which are the older style ink pads.  Hmm.  I like the color combo though, Coastal Cabana (ok, so I'd probably like this with just about anything), Wisteria Wonder, Smoky Slate, and Pear Pizzazz.  And I used the pinking edge in the Finishing Touches Edgelits just because I'd never used it before.

So there you have it, thanks for joining me for today's Friday Flashback!  Now I really need to clean up my house since I'm hosting a baby shower here tomorrow.  Eek!

Stop the presses!  I did find an old card in the archives using Nature's Wonders, it was in the Perfect Petals folder.  So here's the flashback part of today's Friday Flashback:

I can't remember if I used Yoyo Yellow or Summer Sun, but in any case both those yellows are retired and I still love Crushed Curry more.  Ok, carry on with your Friday :)
