Something Old, Something New

A box arrived yesterday that I'd been waiting almost a month for - inside was the Bird on a Branch stamp set that I finally got around to ordering, just a week before I found out it would be retiring.

This morning when I sat down to play I looked around online for a bit for inspiration and I found the Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge #127:

Here is what I came up with:

I LOVE how it turned out. As the tile of this post indicates I used a bit of old and new to make this card.  The old would be retiring stamp set Bird on a Branch and the new would be the luscious new color, Cherry Cobbler.  I'm loving the deep, rich red.
