Welcome to the ESAD Retirement List Blog hop for 2016! Today we will be showcasing retiring products.  To see all the amazing creations by the team, be sure to click your way around the whole blog hop by clicking on the next button at the end of my post.
I have made 2 cards for your today using some of my favourite colours, DSP, inks, embellishments and stamps!

Bye Bye favourites from 2016

I'm calling this the panel card and I have made you a tutorial below.  I did CASE the design of this card from Dena Rekow. I love the scrunched burlap and how the patterns of the English Garden DSP easily blend together. The sentiment is from Petite Pairs.

This card follows a simple style and I have used the stamps in Everything Eleanor to create an interesting overlapped background (as demonstrated by Brandy Cox at OnStage). More scrunched burlap and accented with lots of candy dots. I will miss these products but I'm soooo excited with what will replace them too! More about that coming soon.

Try making the panel card, here's how!

A Neutral Everything Eleanor for #GDP004

I think I've made it just in the nick of time! Its been a busy couple of weeks here at the Evans' house. With school holiday fun and a gorgeous visit from our interstate family - there was no time for crafting! 

My project was inspired by the designers sketch over at the Global Design Project with challenge #GDP004 - Case the Designer Louise Sharp!

I've chosen to go with a colour challenge on this card. Taking inspiration from the same colours as Louise and the circular layout I used just one stamp set for all the images - Everything Eleanor! Its just one of those beautifully coordinating sets that no matter what colour or arrangement you use the stamps in- it looks fab nonetheless!
The colours on my card are Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Gold Glimmer.
Here's my card!

Here are the card measurements so you too can create this card:

• Standard Australian C6 card base in Crumb Cake Cardstock (half A4 sheet)
• Soft Suede Frame - 3-3/4" x 5-1/2"
• Very Vanilla Panel -  3-1/2" x 5-1/4"

Get inspired with this colour swatch, feel free to share and pin it!
