artisan design team – goodbye retiring colors…

04.17.2023…..HappyMonday, everyone! Today, some of my Artisan Design Team 2023 friends are hopping along on Instagram, and saying “goodbye” to the retiring Stampin’ Up! Colors. It was really hard for me to choose one color, but I finally decided on Bermuda Bay! For this alcohol ink technique card, I also paired Bermuda Bay with a few of the colors that are staying in the catalog…..Blackberry Bliss, Night of Navy and Old Olive.

While I’m sad to see some of these colors go, I’m also super excited with all of the amazing new colors that are now part of the permanent color families. Hope this card inspires you to create at least a few cards or projects using some of the retiring colors…..before they’re gone!
