Thinking of You floral with 2026-2028 In Colors

Hello everyone.  We have had some beautifully sunny days here in the Pacific northwest this past week.  It's been so nice to sit outside on the deck and feel the warmth of the sun on my skin....not for too long of course.  I'm primarily a shade girl!  

For today's project I'm combining one of my favorite last chance stamp & die sets along with Delicate Dreams paper and the brand new 2026-2028 In Colors, so something old, something new and something not quite released to the public.  The In Colors will go live to the general public on May 5, 2026, and be available for two years which also means we will be retiring the 2024-2026 In Colors at the same time.  To see how I've put this card together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.
