Hello and welcome to the Retiring In Colors Blog Hop where we are saying a sad goodbye to the lovely colours we have had the pleasure of using for the last 2 years. I have also taken the opportunity to use my favourite retiring stamp set, Beautiful Friendship.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Goodbye card, you will need:

Seaside Spray card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Pretty Peacock – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner – one for the inside
Pretty Peacock – 3” by 3”
Basic White – 3” by 3”

I began by stamping the largest flower in Rococo Rose ink at the top and bottom of one of the Basic White panels.

I added the ‘hydrangea image’ in Purple Posy ink. The other flowers were added in Terracotta Tile and Seaside Spray ink
