I love how these colours work so well with Basic Grey as an alternative to black.

This combo uses Highland Heather, Fresh Freesia and Bubble Bath!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Today I’m bringing you an idea to use up your cardstock stash. I’m using up retiring colours too.

Eleven colours from the main collection are retiring. These samples use Sahara Sand, Bermuda Bay and Rick Razzleberry. The others are listed at end of this post.

The Biggest Wish stamp set makes quick, bold cards and brilliant for the guys too!

I also used the wonderful Stamparatus tool, sadly this is also retiring and no longer available.

Exactly the same process was used for all the cards – this is Rich Razzleberry!
