"Get going before the gettins' all gone!"

This series is all about retiring stamp sets.  As I mentioned yesterday, there might be retired product on these samples I'd previously made but I'll try and give you a substitution idea whenever possible.  The inside of the cage is supposed to replica a plant. I used the top of the tree in the stamp set "Lovely as a Tree", inked it with my Old Olive marker and stamped it inside the cage. I've been a demonstrator nearly 15 years and "Lovely as a Tree" is still around!

Supplies:

• Stamp Set: Aviary #116956 wood, #120461 clear; Lovely as a Tree #115026 wood, #127793 clear  (The words I used are retired but that's easily substituted.)
• Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White
• Ink Pads: Old Olive, Jet Black Staz On
• Marker: Old Olive #100079
• Designer Paper: Brights Collection #117155
