Inking Up The Retiring In Colors Blog Hop
Hello and welcome to Inking Up The Retiring In Colors Blog Hop for April 2018!
We are excited to share our creations with you today. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list. I chose Peekaboo Peach as my main color focus. I love any shade of orange. Here is what I made
I made a shaker card. This is my first time ever making one. What!!! I love how the card turned out but I don’t like how hard it was to line up the paper. There has to be an easier way. I will be looking into that and any tips would be appreciated.
I am sad this color is leaving us soon. Boo! Maybe one day it will return.
