This is another card I did with Timeless Textures that I forgot to post! I loved creating with this set and really enjoyed working with the Gray Granite combined with other colors. This is a great neutral that works with brights or dark colors. An earlier post featured the Gray Granite with Grapefruit Grove. Not what you would ordinarily think to pair it with, but I think it worked great. You can see that card HERE!
While I love the colors and the stamp set, I think adding actual textures to the card helped it as well. I used one of the Stitched Rectangle dies, some of the Stitched Label dies and the Subtle Texture embossing folder on the layers. It is a lot of extra work, but makes the card look expensive and elegant.
Alas, the Timeless Textures set is retiring at the end of May. For information on retiring stamps and other Stampin’ Up! news, please see the bottom of this post. If there is something you have had your eye on for a while, don’t delay! Retiring stamps are while supplies last trough June 4th and then they will be gone forever!

Retiring Stamp Sets
The new catalog will debut June 4th, so its time to retire some of our well-loved sets to make room for new ones! To take a look at what is retiring, please click on the image below.
Note that the retired items are a little confusing as everything in CLEAR stamps is listed. But what is really happening is that all CLEAR stamps will convert to CLING stamps on June 4th. Click on the image below to see a list of stamps converting to CLING on June 4th.
If you are someone(like me!) who needs a more visual reference, here are images of all the CLEAR stamps that will be converted to CLING in the new catalog on June 4th.

This is a beautiful card Susan. I’m going to miss this set for creating vintage cards.

Thank you! I will miss this set too! I was hoping it would make the cut. But I am very happy with all the new stamps coming!
