Enduring Beauty - 2022-2024 In-Colors Retiring




I made several examples using the retiring In-Colors using Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky for the flowers, and Parakeet Party for the leaves and stems.  These cards are used with the ink pads and Blending Brushes along with the Enduring Beauty Masks.  So fun and easy to use.  I add a few embellishments on some and different sentiments on other, but I kind of like the front just plain as I did with the Sweet Sorbet.  I used the Layering Florals 3D Embossing Folder which adds to the beauty of the cards.

Here are the instructions for the Sweet Sorbet card and if you want to do the other cards, just change the colors:

Stamp Set: Enduring Beauty,

Cardstock:  Thick Basic White, Sweet Sorbet, Basic White

Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder, Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks,  Enduring Beauty Dies, Blending Brushes, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals,

 

1.     The base of the card is Thick Basic White cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Sweet Sorbet cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.

3.    Ink up the florals from the Enduring Beauty stamp set with Tuxedo Black Memento on Basic White cardstock.  I used the retired Stamparatus but you can use the Clear Block F.

4.    Masks are numbered at the top left corner that has a notch.  Start with Mask 1 and align over the stamped floral image to color in the basic flower with Sweet Sorbet ink using the Blending Brush in a swirling motion but not too hard.  Use tape to hold in place.  Then use Mask 3 over the stamped floral image and use Sweet Sorbet ink color again.  It will make the shadows of the flower a deeper color.  If you prefer, you can start with the leaves instead.  Then you’d start with Mask 2 and use Parakeet Party ink.  Then Mask #4 for the veins of the leaves use Parakeet Party ink again.

5.    You can add a label if you wish, but I kind of liked it plain on the front.  You could add embellishments such as gems, rhinestones, dots, and/or ribbon to your liking.
