The card I’m sharing with you for this post I’ve made for 2 challenges.
The first one is a colour challenge from Cards & Things Challenges and is Colour Challenge #69.
While trying to decide on a stamp set to use for this colour combination I remembered a ‘new to me’ Challenge site my good friend Meighan mentioned and that is SU Only Challenges. This week the challenge on their site is SUO Challenge #14 – Favourite Retired Stamp set.
I have a few retired stamp sets that I just don’t wish to part with, however I never seem to use them. Well this challenge fit perfectly to do just that.
So what set did I choose to use??
The gorgeous ‘Brocade Basics’ stamp set.
Most of the card is Marina Mist & Old Olive but there is a layer of Certainly Celery in there to fit with the Colour Challenge.
So is this one of your favourite retired sets too?
Supplies:
Stamp sets: Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Brocade Basics (retired)
Card: Marina Mist Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Whisper White
Ink: Old Olive, Marina Mist
Accessories: Modern Label Punch, Photo Corner Punch, Word Window Punch, Basic Jewels – Pearls.
Till next time….
Love your card Nikki, I might have to give this challenge a go as I have some free time this weekend & of course loads of retired stamp sets.
