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!
