One of the new Stamp Sets that I know I'll use for may years is the Go To Greeting Stamp set, with its lovely assortment of "go to" messages I use over and over again.  Today I'm also using the Bouquet Of Thanks Stamp Set again.   Both stamp sets are perfect for creating enchanting cards that will appeal to the special friends we chose to send this to.  I gathered my collection of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock, inks and ribbons and stamped images and sentiments on a Fresh Freesia image layer.  The layout is relatively simple as there are no die cuts -- just paper, ink and ribbon.   These are the layouts that you'll keep in mind when you know the favorite colors of a special friend.  You'll be able to create a card with colors you know will appeal to them.   You'll enjoy creating unique looks with this stamp set using different coloring medium and different accessories.  Add it to your Shopping List today!

Today's card uses a base card of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock.  Then a layer of Basic White Cardstock.  And finally an image layer of Fresh Freesia Cardstock.

I stamped the single image from Bouquet of Thanks Stamp Set in Blackberry Bliss ink onto the Fresh Freesia image layer twice.  Before stapin, I used the new Stampin' Up! Masking Paper across the bottom of the card to leave an area free for the sentiment.

I finished the card by using Blackberry ink and the Go To Greetings Stamp Set to stamp a sentiment on the Fresh Freesia layer I had previously masked with the Stampin' up! Mashing Paper.  I added a Blackberry ribbon, which I stocked up on before it retired.  Then I added a few of the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  

Below are the tools I used to create this card.
