At this time of the year - when one set of In Colours ( group of 5 which has been around for 2 years ) is about to retire, I often find myself gravitating towards them to get the last little bit of use before they disappear from use. Well also it's to try and use them up to create space for the excitement of incoming colours ( early May ) I have really loved Pebbled Path as a solid and reliable cardbase. Here I have also used Boho Blue and Moody Mauve with the blending brushes to create the Hydrangea. I have also used some other retired products in the background papers. This beautiful image is from the new Thankful Garden suite, which includes the stampset, decorative masks, and dies. The masks are incredibly easy to use. I hope you have a creative week and remember, "don't just post online, post something pretty!" cheers, Liz
Time to say Farewell to this group of In Colours. I will miss Boho Blue and Pebbled Path - easily my favourites. Moody Mauve will also be missed but I have to admit I have rarely used Wild Wheat, and almost never opened Copper Clay, so I won't miss those. I know Wild Wheat has been popular with many, but it never really made it to the front row in my craft space! Though I didn't love Wild Wheat, I must say that blending blue and yellow (ie Boho Blue and Wild Wheat) to give green worked really well for the leaves in both these cards. I can't believe it took me two years to figure that out! Picture credit - https://www.stampinup.com.au/products/2023-2025-in-color-jute-trim Our guest designer is Yvon Doensen. It's lovely to showcase cardmakers who have participated in our challenges. Be sure and check out her work and the other projects created by the Design Team. These cards were also a really nice opportunity to finish off a pack of DSP using up the background patterns...
