The Clearing

Use new sentiments with your discontinued stamps. I enjoy mixing the new with the old. Since I keep my stamps until they are useless, (BTW: This never happens.) I mix and match all of the time. Here I used an old-time favorite and paired it with a new set. What do you think?

First, I created my Cling Wrap Background. You can follow the tutorial from SCS found at: Cling Wrap Tutorial 

I let the panel dry overnight. At first, I thought I had ruined the whole panel because it looked very dark. The Night of Navy seemed to take over the whole thing. Fortunately, the longer I left it, the lighter it became. Note to self: Never throw it out!

Once the background was completely dry, I stamped directly on it.

I then stamped my sentiment on a scrap of Basic White. 

I used the Banners Pick a Punch to clip the ends and then sponged it using Crushed Curry.

I attached it using dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered the panel to the card front and added the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
