Today I've made a card with a retiring set for a color challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments. I'm not sure I've given this set a lot of ink time, but it isn't too late to showcase it now.
For this challenge, I decided to work with Wildflower Path Stamp Set, since it was a set that work well with all 3 of the colors. On Basic White Cardstock, I stamped the floral, stems & grass images with Fresh Freesia (1st step was stamped off once, 2nd step was full on) Balmy Blue & Pear Pizazz Inks. The sentiment is also from the set & was stamped with Balmy Blue Ink. The stamped image was then layered on top of Balmy Blue Cardstock. For the background layer, I used the 2021-23 In Color 6 x 6 DSP, then added a retired Pear Pizazz Taffeta Ribbon before adhering it to a Balmy Blue Cardstock base.
