Pretty Perennials Bundle

 

Today's card is a mix of retired, old and brand new products. I was late to the party with Pretty Perennials and have barely had a chance to use it. It has now retired 😢 but I don't always put my retired sets away immediately!

I think it is important to acknowledge that not everyone can retire their old stamps. It's not as if they stop working just because they aren't in the current catalogue! Anyway, I have chosen to use it today and also a few of the new In-colours. I think they are all happy together!! 😉
