Stampin' Up! Falling Flowers (Stamping Symphony Blog Hop)

Hi Everyone, and welcome to another Stamping Symphony blog hop!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Our theme this month was to use a retiring set, and I paired that with my theme for my technique class at the end of the month (vellum) to create this project:

There is just something about the combination of soft pink (this time Powder Pink, a retiring In Colour) and pale green (Soft Sea Foam) that makes my senses sing!

I embossed a panel of vellum with the Tin Tile folder (thankfully NOT retiring!) and adhered it to my base.  I added some pretty white and pink flowers from the Falling Flowers stamp set (cut with matching dies) and a sentiment in green, with "sympathy" die cut from the matching cardstock.

I really like the mix of colours and die cuts.

I stamped a few more flowers on the inside of my card, and an incredible sentiment from a Paper Pumpkin kit that reads:  "The loss is immeasurable but so is the love left behind."  It doesn't get more truthful than that, does it?  I often forget about my paper pumpkin sets but I am trying a new storage system for them with the idea that seeing is using....I'll share it with you down the road if it works out as well as I hope it does.  :)

Here's one more look before I point you to the others hopping along today:
