This Too Shall Pass – yes. How often have we heard that? Usually it's in response to something bad that's happening and it's a call to be optimistic! Today, it's a reference to some of our Stampin' Up! Colors! I am always sorry to see anything from the catalog go! I get very attached to all of our products! This card uses Pretty-in-Pink which is going to retire when the current stock runs out. We do have some great replacements but I've always liked Pretty-In-Pink as my "go to" pink! If you think you can't do without it, hurry up and place your order because once it's gone, it is GONE!
Stay tuned for updates and samples of the new colors – most of them favorites from In-Colors past!
Pretty-in-Pink and Chocolate Chip are a FAVORITE of mine – which is no surprise if you visit this blog! Most of my "vintage" cards are created with those two colors! This one has the Pretty-In-Pink layer distressed and sponged with Chocolate Chip Ink. The Image on the card base is from the "Postage Due" Stamp Set and is embossed using White Embossing Powder and then the Pretty-In-Pink Ink is sponged over it. Crumb Cake Ink is sponged over it as well.
The splatter background was created using Alcohol (70% is best) and Crumb cake Reinker in one of our Stampin' Spritz Bottles to create a Shimmer Spray. It was then spritzed onto Very Vanilla Card Stock.
The Greeting is from the "From My Heart" Stamp Set and is Stamped in Chocolate Chip Ink, outlined in Pretty-in-Pink Stampin' Write Marker and then cut out using the Labels Collection Framelits and the Big Shot. The ribbon is Crochet Trim and the 5/8" Flower Trim is used as the rose accents on the bottom. Three pearls offset the design so it doesn't look "bottom heavy." The Inside is decorated using the Labels Collection Framelits to create a writing space. All supplies can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE – with FREE SHIPPING Saturday, Sunday and Monday 4/6-4/8.
