I've got good news...and bad news...

Which would you like first?

I'll assume you said bad first, since that's pretty much what everyone says and go with that.

So, the bad news is that the retiring colours Stampin' UP! announced and that I posted about here are going fast! I've heard word that some of the re-inkers are already sold out. That means if you want any of the retiring colour product you shouldn't wait!

And now for the good news!! All the colours in this card (which were set to retire at the end of the In Colour years) are STAYING and being shuffled into the Colour Families. Also...I've been stamping - FOR REAL! (heehee!)

I was working on my cards for my next class (May 4th) and since I had Clockworks out, I thought I'd use if for today's Utah Divas Colour Challenge. Our colours this week are: Pool Party, Island Indigo, Calypso Coral and a Neutral of our choice (I chose Whisper White).

Here's my card:

I love the way it turned out! You could also turn this into a single layer card by just using Whisper White. IMO, this falls into the CAS (Clean and Simple) category of cards. Lots of white space with a splash of colour gives the eye a place to rest and then still have fun with the Clockworks Collage.

And...if you left off the "celebrate you" from Fabulous Phrases, you could make the whole card with just one set!
