Goodbye to Seaside Spray

Goodbye to Seaside Spray

Posted on by inkspirationwithteresa

It’s time to say goodbye to Seaside Spray! (I’m posting this week’s In Colour tribute a little early since I’m participating in the Fancy Fold Design Team blog hop later this week.) This is a colour I’m definitely going to miss. It was my favourite I think from all the 2019-2021 In Colours. I loved using it for just about any kind of card… birthday cards, thank you cards and even my holiday cards.

I also love pairing blues and browns together. So for this week’s tribute I paired Seaside Spray with Crumb Cake as my main colour combination. I also threw in a little bit of Pear Pizzazz because I wanted to make a card with a bit of a Spring feel to it. And so I used the Free as a Bird stamp set. There’s a nice variety of images and the blooms and birds are very “Spring”.

I mixed up the images and colours to create a background for this card. With the Crumb Cake leaves and Pear Pizzazz being a little more subtle, the Seaside Spray flowers stand out a little bit better.

I’ve also been having a lot of fun with my new Blending Brushes and thought it would be cool to use them for this card. I decided to blend the Seaside Spray around the birds on a branch to make it look like the sky in the background. I stamped the birds in Crumb Cake and then did some colouring with a Blender Pen. For the leaves I used Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake for the branch and Seaside Spray to add a some highlights to the birds.

I cut out the birds with one of the Stitched Nested Labels dies. Then I popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. But I still felt like the card needed something. At first I thought about using the Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon. But I ended up going with a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I’m very sad that we have to say goodbye to Seaside Spray. Hopefully when Stampin’ Up! does their next colour refresh they bring this colour back. That’s what happened with Blackberry Bliss, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. If you want to check out my other tributes here they are. Pretty Peacock, Terracotta Tile and Rococo Rose. And remember that the In Colour products will sell out quickly! Once they’re gone that’s it. So fill up your cart here.

There’s less than two weeks to go until the list of products retiring from the Annual Catalogue is announced! I never know what they’re going to do, but I do know that the 2019-2021 In Colours are going. So each week I’m picking one of the retiring In Colours to feature on my blog. This week I thought I would say goodbye to Rococo Rose. If you want you can check out my other “tributes” so far; Terracotta Tile and Pretty Peacock.

For this card I decided to feature Rococo Rose with a Spring theme since it’s just around the corner. And the Timeless Tulips stamp set is perfect for that. So that’s where I got the images and phrase. To compliment the Rococo Rose and tie in with the Spring theme, I also used Pear Pizzazz.

I also wanted to do something a little different in terms of the layout. So I have a smaller piece of Basic White for the images and another small piece for the phrase. Behind that is some Pear Pizzazz that I embossed with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder. It gives a nice texture to the cardstock instead of just leaving it plain or stamping a background.

I popped up the tulips with some Stampin’ Dimensionals and wrapped some Linen Thread around the cardstock. The phrase I framed with a piece of Rococo Rose and popped that up so it was on the same level as the tulips. Then I stamped a couple extra large tulips and used the coordinating punch to pop those up and add another layer to the card. And of course I needed to add some bling. So I added some Wink of Stella to the two large punched tulips.

I really like this layout… and the card, so I’m sad that we have to say goodbye to Rococo Rose. If you don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to stock on Rococo Rose or any of the other retiring In Colours, then make sure to head over to my online shop. The ink pads are already starting to run low and once they’re gone that’s it!
