Celebrate You- Mother's Day card

Welcome to today's post featuring a Mother's Day card and a lot of retired/retiring products. Sometimes I find myself needing to use up all the old things in my stash and make it look just as fresh as when I first used them. Today's card uses the following retired or retiring products: Strawberry Slush card stock and ink, Celebrate Today stamp set, Crazy About you stamp set, Tranquil Tulips stamp set and Sweet Sugarplum ink. The other colors of inks used were Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz. I couldn't think of a way to pop up the stems so I popped up the flowers instead and like how it all came together. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think.

Graceful Garden friendship card

Here's my second card for the weekend. I just can't stop with the butterflies and I wanted to feature the ink colors in a clean and simple card. Sequins just had to be added for a little sparkle. The colors I used will be retiring soon so if you like them go and grab then while you can. I hope you'll take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. Supplies:
