Crying for Cameo Coral

As the title of this blog implies, I am very sad to see that this color will be retiring. It has always been a favorite of mine and it will be greatly missed. I was especially sad to see that the ink refills for this color have all been sold out along with a few others that I really wanted to get. Yup, that's what happens when you wait to order. I should know better by now. Oh well, I am sure that the new In Colors will help me get over my loss in no time, lol.



I really love how this card turned out. While making the card I thought to myself that it had been some time since I used the mat pack so I pulled that out to finish off the card. I think that the paper piercing give the card just the right touch, what do you think? The card front is Kiwi Kiss which was then matted with chocolate chip. The stamped layer is very vanilla, a color I always forget to use but thought it would look much better with the other colors I used on this card. The stamp set, Watercolor Trio, is in the current mini so it won't be around much longer, very sad in my opinion as this is such a beautiful stamp set. The sentiment is from the set Fifth Avenue Floral. My punched flowers were cut and pulled on to give them some dimension and then I added pearl halves and smooch paint to make them sparkle. The smooch paint was also added to the butterflies for more sparkle! You all know how much I like my sparkle, lol! Chocolate taffeta ribbon was used to finish off my card along with the punched edge.

Hope you all enjoyed. Thank you for stopping by my little blog!

Happy Stamping and Scrapping,
