Finally! A chance to play with one of my favorite retired stamp sets! I love this set, but I don't use it enough. I was inspired to use paper & stamps I love, but never use, and this is what evolved!

First, I chose the stamp set, and then I found the striped paper. I thought this paper went perfect with the image. I have an amazing stash of brads, too, but I never use them for fear I'll run out of them. I put on my brave face, and busted into a fresh pack of circle & star brads, and realized they were perfect for this card!

I used the same papers on this card, but I chose the antique brads and some scrap ribbon.
