On the Retired List is one of my favourite collection of In Colours...

If you adore these colours (like I do) and must have them, or if you already have the ink pad and require the ink refill, I strongly suggest you order them today before they are gone.

I used two of these colours - Coastal Cabana and Pistachio Pudding - to create a 1st birthday card for my nephew using the oh-so-cute rabbit from the Happy Easter Bunny stamp...

Happy Easter Bunny wood-mount stamp (137152) - $24.95

Who says you can't use seasonal stamps out of season!

For the background of this card I used the Stars Decorative Mask and a really fun (and messy) print technique...

1. Lay the Stars Decorative Mask on flat surface.
2. Add Pistachio Pudding ink (lightest colour) directly to the stencil, dapping splashes of colour using the stamp pad.
3. Add Coastal Cabana ink directly to the stencil, filling in the empty spaces.
4. Spritz the mask liberally with water.
5. Lay Watercolour Paper over the stencil and press down with a paper towel. Allow the Watercolour Paper to absorb the ink.
6. Separate and gently blot excess water and ink from Watercolour Paper.

Hearts & Stars Decorative Masks (133777) - $5.95

There's one more fun element from this card that I want to share with you - the Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers from the Occasions Catalogue...

Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers (137856) - $8.50

These epoxy shapes are fun-to-use, adhesive-backed and conveniently coordinate with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack!
