Boo hoo Bodacious Bouquet going

I still remember the excitement of my first Stampin' Up! encounter which used Bodacious Bouquet (& dare I say it the rest is history!). The first 2 cards were the result of that encounter plus an order for BB, Vintage Violet & Cranberry Crisp (more teeth gashing!!).

This is such a versatile flower set with a range of flower bits & bobs. It's a set of 9 stamps for $68.95 & it's also one of the Bushfire Appeal sets where 50% of the retail price is being donated by SU! to the Victorian Red Cross. I am also donating 20% of any order containing one of the sets to the appeal personally too.
The card above also uses Hodgepodge Hardware, a Paisley Background stamp and Wonderful Words - all of which are retiring as well. The Pewter HPH & the Paisley BG stamp are bargains also at 25% off.

The word friend is taken from Take Three which is also retiring.

Many thanks.........

The first shipment of goodies arrived on Thursday with everyone's shopping from WCMD - I hope everyone had a fun-filled weekend with lots of playing, must admit though I was a having a break as 3/4 of the last weekends have been occupied with stamping or scrapbooking events!

To thank all my friends who bought something at WCMD I made these really simple but I think effective thank you cards, using the Bodacious Bouquet stamps & a very classy "many thanks" from All Year Cheer I. I mounted up on black CS; with Orchid Opulence & Marigold Morning as the inks.
