For the past few weeks I’ve been featuring the 2021-2023 In Colours to get ready for this. This list of retiring products is now officially out! And that means it’s officially time to say goodbye Polished Pink. I’ll talk more about the list next week, so stay tuned. And over the next couple of weeks I’ll be featuring some of the retiring products in my projects. But if there’s something you really want, don’t wait! Things are selling out already!
For this card my main colour is Polished Pink, of course. And I’m pairing it with one of my favourite colours Blackberry Bliss. This is a bit of an unlikely colour combination but it works. Polished Pink is definitely a colour that’s had me scratching my head at times to figure out what to pair it with. And now that I’m getting the hang of it, it’s retiring. Grr!
The images I’m using for this card are also retiring. I’m really sad that Butterfly Brilliance is retiring (dies too), but I’ll be holding on to this one. I stamped the butterflies in Polished Pink and the sentiment too, which is from Something Fancy. To keep Polished Pink as the focus I used Blackberry Bliss mainly as a background colour. Including the typed text from Quiet Meadow.
To add a little something more to the card I also embossed the piece of cardstock with the stamped text using the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder. Then on top of that, and the butterflies, I used one of the Something Fancy dies to frame the sentiment. To finish it off I popped up the sentiment and added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a little bling.
While I’m sad that it’s time to say goodbye Polished Pink… and Butterfly Brilliance, I’m excited for the new catalogue. And I can’t wait for my pre-order to arrive so I can start sharing some new projects with you!
Check out a couple more retiring colours here. I can’t believe that Pear Pizzazz is retiring too! This summer is going to be a busy one with purging and reorganizing my craft stash!
