The new Annual catalogue is coming in just a few short weeks. Which means that a number of the products from the current Annual catalogue will be retiring including the 2019-2022 In Colours. And so I’ve been featuring one of the 2019-2022 In Colours here each week. You can go back and see my posts featuring Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray. But this week it’s time to say goodbye Purple Posy.
I really love this colour. And I wish that Stampin’ Up! would have been able to figure out the issues with the ink pads. So for this card I had to focus on mainly using Purple Posy cardstock. The Brilliant Wings dies made this pretty easy.
To help make the Purple Posy pop I used Blackberry Bliss for my card base and some of my stamped images. The stamped images for this card came from the Beauty Abounds stamp set. This is one of my favourite stamps sets and I’m so sad that it’s being retired. I was able to stamp a few images using a Purple Posy Stampin’ Write Marker to contrast the Blackberry Bliss stamped images for my background.
The “thank you” came from the Free as a Bird stamp set. And I die cut 3 Purple Posy butterflies using the Brilliant Wings dies to be the focal point for this card. To adhere the butterflies I added some Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue in the centre of them. That way I could pull the wings up a little bit to add a bit of dimension to the card. Then to finish it off I of course had to add some bling. So I added one small Rhinestone Basic Jewel on either side of my “thank you”.
I’m sad that it’s time to say goodbye Purple Posy and the other 2019-2022 In Colours. But I’m also excited about the upcoming new Annual catalogue.
