Well, this is it: the end of another Sale-A-Bration season! And, I think it’s fair to say, the most unusual SAB ever. Often when we reach this last day, I feel I haven’t wrung everything out of the Sale-A-Bration offerings that I could have. This year is no exception, although we’ve used SAB products more than I’ve shown you. So expect to see products in upcoming posts that are no longer available.
I just have to share, and this was one of my first — and favorite — cards I made. I made it for February camps, yes, but also for our neighbor’s 80th birthday. Her party was February 29th, and doesn’t that seem like a lifetime ago!
This was over the top for me, but not for the birthday girl — it suited her perfectly! And if I loved this set from the beginning, when the coordinating dies were introduced, I knew it would stay on my shelves forever.
Here you see the bit of Seaside Spray sponged where the cake would be adhered. Just that bit of shading provided a lovely contrast so there wasn’t so much white.
I could color these flowers all day long and not repeat a color combination. OK, maybe an exaggeration, but not by much! The detail here shows you how I use Stampin’ Blends markers; I color most of my flowers just this way.
And I’ve said this before, but never underestimate the power of just a little bit of sparkle! These “sprig” die cuts are the perfect little touch, and you can find similar dies in other sets.
