Betty challenged us to use all of the retiring In Colors, with the option of using 3-4. I chose this Flourishes image for the FTTC because I could use all five colors. For details about the challenge, visit the Flourished Blog: http://flourishes.org/blog/
Stamped Hollyhocks in Memento Tuxedo Black on Flourishes Ivory CS and colored with Copics (I had to layer quite a bit to get some of the desired colors, but I think that I came pretty close!) Sponged with Memento Dandelion and added some crochet trim and sheer ribbon. Pierced, then matted with Pear. Mounted on a piece of Websters Pages and added a flourish of Blushing Bride to tie the two bits together. Added the corner gems and done. PT - a pathetic 1
Which of the colors will I miss? Most definitely Pear, also Peach and Blushing. Thank you so much for looking. Have a peaceful day.

Marie, your hollyhocks are gorgeous! Love how you incorporated all five retiring colors! Love the yellow sponged edging and the paper piercing. All the embellishments add to the elegance of the card - so beautiful!
