Throwback Thursday- Don't Stop Believing Card

 

Throwback Thursday with this awesome card I made for a customer/friend order. She is from Arizona and so a melted snowman seemed just perfect for her. This snowman is from the retired Don't Stop Believing stamp set. I even used some retired Designer Series Paper, and the retired Snowflake embossing folder! Even the Real Red Ribbon is retired! 

The only things that are not retired from this card is the paper (Old Olive), the Layering Circle Dies, the ink (memento) and the Stampin' Blends to color him in! 

My favorite part is the saying "Sadly...Frosty's first hot cocoa turned out to be his last."

Hope this card made you smile and that you can enjoy making beautiful cards with your old stamp sets too! 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
