Senior Years

 Hello my friends! Today I am sharing some of the new In Colours on my card. I had a retirement card to make for a friend so I decided to use a couple new colours.

I started with a Fresh Freesia card base. This is one of the new In Colours that I am using today. On top of that I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. 

On another piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped my image using Jet Black Staz On ink. The image of the lady is from the Senior Years stamp set. I used the Watercolour Pencils to colour it in and then used a Blender Pen to blend all of the colour together. I used Basic Gray, Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black, Real Red and Early Espresso watercolour pencils. I cut this image out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I then matted it using the next size up die and Fresh Freesia cardstock. I added this to my card front using dimensionals.

I stamped my sentiment using Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock. I matted this using a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock that I cut using another die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies set. I added this to my card front using dimensionals.

The friend that will be receiving this card is also a card maker and scrapbooker. I had to make a small card for the lady on the card to hold. I used the envelope die from the Snail Dies and made the envelope from Polished Pink cardstock. This is another of the new In Colours.

I made a tiny card to go inside of the envelope using Basic White cardstock and some more Polished Pink cardstock. I stamped the sentiment on this card using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and the Hydrangea Haven stamp set. I stamped the little heart using Polished Pink ink and the stamp is from the Snailed It stamp set.
