Mary is retiring at the end of March, so this is her last Saturday Blog Hop post! Safe travels, Mary! Debbie Henderson will be taking over her spot as my partner with Create with Stamping Friends!
ARTISTICALLY INKED
As the Retiring Lists come out, it makes me go through my “older” sets and want to use them again a couple last times! One of my favorites when it came out was Artistically Inked and I’ve used several of the retiring In Colors! I’ve also paired it with the Layered Florals Embossing Folder for lots of texture and an updated look!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Sweet Sorbet cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Basic White cardstock was embossed with the Layered Florals EF and added to the front.
- A 1-1/4 x 3-3/4 strip of Smoky Slate cardstock was added across the bottom.
- The flower was stamped on Basic White with Sweet Sorbet, the smaller flowers and greeting with Tranquil Tide, and the leaves with Parakeet Party, all were cut with the Artistic Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Iridescent Pearls were added to the centers of the flowers.

That’s it! Make sure you order the retiring products while they are still available. OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
