Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue

And no, I don't have wedding cards to share with you!

I'm sharing these cards in reverse order of how I made them. The card above uses completely current SU items, among them are retiring chipboard, Designer Series Paper and two In Colors - Soft Sky and Blue Bayou. I made this one in part so you could see the difference between some of the old and new product, and just how nicely the old and new mix.
Here's my card as it was intended. Something old is Soft Sky, a retiring In Color; the chipboard flower which is from the retiring Onboard Accents; and the Berry Bliss DSP which is also retiring. Something new is Baja Breeze and Pink Pirouette, forthcoming In Color colours (the sentiment is also from a new set). Something borrowed is the layout, this is from Julee's Mojo Monday challenge. The blue is more for the first card that has Blue Bayou, but Soft Sky, Baja Breeze and Blue Bayou are all in the same vein of greenish blues. If you loved Soft Sky and Blue Bayou I'm sure you'll love Baja Breeze, look how nicely it coordinates!

I also love how Pink Pirouette is so different to Pretty In Pink. You think Pretty In Pink is rather pale until you see it beside Pirouette... I can see myself using the colour a lot. I also think it's rather cool that Pirouette is so close to the base colour of this Berry Bliss paper with Pretty In Pink being the colour of the motifs.

And it's only now that I have thought "I should have put a Pretty In Pink brad in the middle of the flower"! Oh well, I still like both cards and that's two more ready to grab when I am in a hurry!
