Hey there! Today I have a quick and easy card to share with you that I created with the Flowers of Friendship stamp set and Abstract Beauty 4" x  6" Designer Paper. Flowers of Friendship is carrying over to the new Annual Catalog, which debuts for you on May 3rd. Abstract Beauty Designer Paper is from the Jan/June Mini Catalog and is only available till June 30th, or while supplies last.

I used Magenta Madness card stock and ink, which is a retiring In Color. As of this blog post writing neither one had sold out yet, but I am crossing off items from my master list every day, so anything on the Last Chance Retiring List that you are wanting you had better place your order ASAP because especially the retiring In Color products won't last much longer!

The Abstract Beauty designer paper in the background is cut 3" x 4 for the bottom floral layer, and the top layer is 2 1/4" x 4. The top layer is the flip side of the bottom layer. After stamping the blossom spray on a 2" x 4" Basic White rectangle with Tuxedo Black ink, I colored the blooms with a Blender Pen and the ink from the squeezed lid of the Magenta Madness ink pad. I colored the leaves with the same Blender Pen (after cleaning the tip with a few swipes on scrap paper) and Just Jade ink, which is another retiring In Color. I adhered the colored layer to a 2 1/8" x 4 1/8" mat of Magenta Madness card stock. I adhered it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals after tying 8 inches of White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon in a knot around both layers. I added retiring 2021-2023 In Color Jewels for some sparkle.

Before adhering the matted layer to the front I also stamped a greeting from Flowers of Friendship with black ink.

Inside I stamped another Flowers of Friendship sentiment with black ink and lines of tiny blooms from the same set with Magenta Madness ink.
