Southern Serenade, an Opportunity for Embellishment

So I had this idea to stamp several blossom stems from Southern Serenade and color them in different colors, and then make a set of cards with coordinating DSP. And it turned out brilliantly, if I do say so myself. Except.....

I got down to the very last card, stamping the very last greeting, when disaster struck. I'm normally pretty good about getting a clean image because I rest the sides of my hands on my work surface to steady them while I'm stamping. Somehow, some way, I "stuttered." Meaning, I got a double image of the greeting. Which was on the already colored image panel, which was attached to the DSP, which was affixed to the card  base.

!@#&%!! A bad word may have escaped my mouth. So, I did what any self-respecting stamper would do - I salvaged it with a greeting banner! And that gave me the opportunity to use the adorable little matching blossom stamp on the end of the banner.

I actually think it turned out cuter with the banner and blossom! These cards also gave me the opportunity to use up some retired DSP from my hoard extensive collection. If you want to see the other cards and get the measurements, check back on Monday. Tomorrow morning I have a New Year's card, and tomorrow night is the Stamp Review Crew post. I've been a busy, busy girl!
