This week I am participating in the TGIF Color Challenge. I love these colors together!
For this card, I went to my shelf of retiring stamp sets and picked out one that I am going to miss, Tranquil Tulips. This is a host set, so it can only be purchased using host dollars. Host an online party with me during May, or place a $150 order yourself, and it can be yours!
I stamped off for the back layer of the tulips. The sentiment is from the stamp set You're Inspiring, which is sticking around! And that black and white paper is from the Petal Passion DSP, which I'm surprised hasn't sold out yet. It is so pretty, and there are so many different ways to add color to it! See a full list of supplies used below, and don't hesitate to buy the products that are retiring because they won't be around for much longer!
Stamps: Tranquil Tulips (host), You're Inspiring
Ink: Basic Black, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Berry Burst, Petal Passion DSP
Accessories & Tools: Petals & More Thinlits, Big Shot, Glitter Enamel Dots
Happy Stamping!

Have you picked out your favorite Sale-a-bration items yet? Today, there are 3 BRAND NEW options available, and one of them just might be your new favorite! I used two of the new products on my card today, and I think you are going to love it!
The background for this card was made using the Springtime Foils Specialty DSP, which you can get for free with a $50 purchase. The paper is white with rose gold embossing. Other patterns include gold and silver as well. I colored it with my Stampin' Blends markers. I used light and dark Night of Navy, light Old Olive, and light Pool Party, plus the Color Lifter.
One thing I discovered while coloring was that the Stampin' Blends will color on the foil, and it doesn't rub off like our regular ink. I was able to get quite a bit off with my Color Lifter, but a warning if you try the same. I asked my demonstrator friends, and got some good tips. If you use Stampin' Write Markers or ink pads with a sponge or brayer, you will be able to rub the excess ink off of the foil. Stampin' Blends can be used, but you'll have to take care when coloring. Or use the Color Lifter trick!
The sentiment is from the new stamp set Blossoming Basket. It comes as part of a bundle that you can earn for free with a $100 purchase. The other half of the bundle is the Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
Overall, this card is pretty simple. The paper really steals the show! If you'd like some for yourself, you can shop in my online store here.
