Hey there! Last night I played with a couple of current sets that are not retiring to create today's card. Products, especially stamp sets, are flying off the shelves and selling out daily, so I've decided to try to make most of my cards moving forward with current and carrying-over supplies to avoid tempting you with products you can't order anymore.

I used the Quiet Meadow and Dragonfly Garden stamp set to create this collage card with a color palette of Blackberry Bliss, Merry Merlot, and Pear Pizzazz.

I used a combination of stamping with full-strength ink and stamping off once or twice on scrap paper before stamping on the very vanilla paper. I did add a bit of Clear Wink of Stella to the tops of the cone flowers for a bit of shimmer.

I stamped the White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding with one of the smudge stamps from the Nature's Harvest stamp set.

I cut the length of ribbon I needed (about 14 inches) then quickly stamped the ribbon with Blackberry Bliss ink. It was dry in minutes and ready to wrap around the bottom edge of the card and to tie in a bow. I secured the knot with a glue dot and added another glue dot to the middle of the ribbon on the back side to keep it from sliding off the end.

Inside I used a Dragonfly Garden sentiment with more stamping-off Pear Pizzazz stamping and ink blending with Pear Pizzazz and a Blending Brush.
