Spring Tree - Stampin' Up! Happy Home

  The last few weeks I've been making a great effort to try to use retiring products for one last hurrah. Some of them I know I didn't use them nearly as much as I should have and now I'm sad that their leaving.  I'll try better with the new catalog I promise!

  I combined two challenges again.  The colors are from last week's Color Throwdown and the sketch is from the still open Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge.

  I like these soft colors together even though I don't tend to grab light pinks.  Paired with the grays and the pop of darker Rose Red I like how this one came out.

  The tree was stamped with Basic Gray and then sponged with Pink Pirouette ink.  I colored over the tree with clear Wink of Stella for just a little shimmer to go with the rhinestones in the small punched flowers.

  The banner is embossed in white with enjoy and layered over a small strip of the English Garden DSP.  I tied a bit of silver thread around it to bring some sparkle to that corner of the card.

  The background piece of Whisper White is embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder.

  Don't wait to order those last retiring items on your wish list.  Things are starting to go quickly. To start your order please click HERE and Shop Now!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
