I have not had a chance to participate with the Stampin411 Sketches lately, so I wanted to create a card using this week’s SSC249 Sketch along with the “Congratulations” SUO42 theme challenge from the SUO Challenge site.
I also chose to highlight almost all of the 2010-2012 retiring “In-Colors” (with the exception of Blushing Bride)- only another month or so before these beautiful colors will be retired!
In keeping with the idea to use “sets that you had to have but have not inked as much as you thought you would”, I decided to ink up my “neglected” Homegrown set. The “Congratulations” theme seemed an appropriate sentiment- I know that I would like to have more time to garden, wouldn’t you?

Great colors for a garden theme. I used the same retirement stamp today on a card I made using plant hope which is one set I haven't used yet. I haven't taken pictures yet to add to this challenge.

This turned out great! I never would have known what to do with those images, even though I think they're beautiful. They make a wonderful retirement card.
