ICS Blog Hop - April 2026 - Farewell 2024-2026 In-Colors

 

Welcome to our Inspire - Create - Share Blog Hop for April 2026!  This month's we are sharing ideas that are all created using our outgoing In-colors.  These products are on the Last Chance list and only available while supplies last.    
My card this month, once again, features the new "A Rainbow of Thanks" set from the March 2026 release.
This card was made with five retiring In-Colors (Pretty In Pink, Shy Shamrock, Petunia Pop, Summer Splash and Peach Pie) in another bright and fun design; using the masking technique.

First I stamped the pink swirl on the front of the card and onto a post-it note making sure it was on the sticky part.  Then cut the post-it note image close and laid it on the card before stamping the strips of paint - this kept the circle open for my sentiment.
Then added the brushes and colored the handles with my Pecan Pie blends. After layering this onto my card front - I added a simple bow of Petunia Pop; and colored several rhinestone gems with the coordinating blends to add some sparkle.
I always like to pull a bit of the outside of the card into the inside - 
And of course - no "naked" envelopes - 
You can see the cards I made with this set last month here - https://crazystampinglady.blogspot.com/2026/03/ics-blog-hop-march-2026-online.html

Hope this gives you some inspiration and gets your creative juices going and make something beautiful.
