Today’s friend card is primarily neutral (Whisper White and Gray Granite) with the perfect pop of Poppy Parade. Gray Granite (a new core collection color) and Poppy Parade (a returning In Color) are part of the Stampin’ Up! Color Revamp. New colors, retiring colors, new ink pad design and color comparisons are summarized here.
The Share What You Love Bundles (on sale here) have been an uber popular way for customers to get their hands on new products before the annual catalog begins June 1. I used many of the products in the Share What You Love product suite on today’s card.

Ink the texture stamp in Poppy Parade ink and stamp at “full strength” on three flowers. Stamp “off” (on a piece of scrap paper first) with Poppy Parade ink for the remaining two “lighter” flowers.
Crop the sentiment and flowers with the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform and second to largest straight square from Layering Squares Framelits Dies. Adhere using Snail Adhesive to a Basic Black scallop square created with the Big Shot and the largest of the scallop square dies.
Add a trio of black “bling” from Faceted Dots. Adhere sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals as shown.
