I thought that I would share with you today another card with retiring products. And for those of you that struggle with male cards, it may give you some inspiration as well.
You can check out the updated Last Chance List here.
Now this card is a CASE from the wonderfully talented Teneale Williams. You can see her card here. If you haven't seen her work before please check out her blog. I promise you won't be dissapointed.
Here's my card -
And the matching inside as well -
To make the tree multi coloured I used the sponge daubers. I use a different dauber for each colour. After dabbing it onto the ink pad, I then dabbed randomly over the stamp. I did that with each colour then "huffed" onto the stamp before stamping it onto the cardstock. Clear as mud I know! LOL If you have any questions or would like to book a workshop to see this technique in action please email me.
Check back tomorrow for some scrapbook pages we made in my friends (hi Ali!) workshop a little while back using my favourite retiring colour.

For the next week or so I would like to show case some of the items on Stampin' Up!'s "Last Chance List". This is the Stampin' Up! retirement list and stock is only available until the 31st August 2010 or until sold out.
You can view the Last Chance List here
I would strongly suggest that if there's something you know you just can't live without, than make sure you order it sooner rather than later. Once it's out of stock, that's it, it's gone.
My card today would make a great card for a man. I know a lot of people struggle with cards for males and I've found that this DSP (Designer Series Paper) and stamp set work perfectly together. While the stamp set is not retiring, the DSP is. It's called Windsor Knot and is now only $12.71. A saving of 25%!
Here is my card.....
