Trying to use some of my retiring sets before they retired.... well

They have retired since I started working on them. So here is just quick run down on a couple I got finished:

 

 

I was thinking about how I always use my go to layouts and wanted to go for something different.  Using the Floral Framelits and Always Eleanor set I created this fun card.

 

I used a brush tip pen nib ink pad to color the image. I got the same effect that I would have with a blender pen and ink.  It was fun to try another tool for effect.

 

Stamp Sets: Always Eleanor (retired) and Fabulous Phrases

 

Paper: Crisp Cantalope, Pistachio Pudding, Whispher White and In-Color 12x12 DSP.

 

Ink:  Crisp Cantalope, Pistanchio Pudding, Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry, and Pear Pizazz

Thanks for Yappin' about Stampin' with me.
