Welcome back to the Joyful Stars Blog Hop! If you've just joined me from our wonderfully talented Marie's blog, thank you for continuing on to join me here!
This month I wanted to pay homage to our retiring colors. Although I always feel a sense of sadness to say goodbye them, there are always I few for which I will miss more than others. Here are the colors that are going away so please get your ink pads, re-inkers, and cardstock while you can!
The two I will particularly miss are Ruby and Sweet Leaf. So for that reason, I created a card to highlight the two colors I will miss most.
For this card, I chose one of my favorite new stamps, Treasured Memories. I wanted a water colored look with my flowers, so I swiped both my Ruby and Sweet Leaf ink pads on my craft mat, rubbed my stamps into the ink and stamped onto White Daisy cardstock. Pieces of a zip strip from the Timber Paper Pack were adhered above and below the images. A piece of the wood B&T paper from the pack was adhered to a White Daisy card base, and the previously assemble piece adhere on top. The sentiment from the Winged Wishes stamp set was stamped in VersaMark ink onto a scrap of Black cardstock and embossed in Ranger White Super Fine Embossing Powder. I finished the card with a few Bitty Sparkles on the centers of the flowers. Although a simple card, I hope it will brighten the day of a friend.
Thanks for visiting! Now for some awesome artwork, please continue with the hop over to the very talented Krista!
