Simple Friendship and Presto Patterns DSP Fond Farewell......

I pulled out one of the stamp sets I have been "crying" over since it was announced it is retiring.  This set is almost worn out (if you can wear out a stamp set) because I have used it so many times.  It has been my go to set when I wanted to add flowers or a swirl to the inside of a card or matching envelope, not to mention the front.  I also pulled out some of my shrinking stash of Presto Patterns DSP and this is the card I came up with .....

I added some Daffodil Delight and a happy surprise of a stamp set that is NOT retiring. It was in a recent mini catalogue and is not located in the new 2011-12 Idea Book and Catalogue!  Happy Dance being done over this one.  I sponged some Peach Parfait around and down the center of the butterfly and stamped (stamped off first) the flower from Simple Friendship in Daffodil Delight behind the sentiment.
