Dynamic Duos #87: Black Tie Week

Hello, stampers! This weeks challenge at Dynamic Duos is to create a project using Black and Melon Mambo.  The Dessert option is to use umbrellas.   I thought I didn't have any umbrellas, but being a Dynamic Duo designer, I thought I should try to include the dessert option if at all possible. So, I dug thru my tiny stash of stamp sets (ha! ha!) and found one. :) 
It happens to be a VERY old stamp set that was also a Sale-a-bration stamp set from way back when.  Here's the challenge:
And here's the card I made:
 
A cheer up buttercup kind of card. : )
 
 
RECIPE:
STAMPS: Send a Celebration (retired), Geometrical, Petite Petals, Banner Blast (SAB set), and You're Lovely (SAB set)
INK: Onyx Black Versafine, Versmark and White craft pad
PAPER: Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White
ACCESSORIES: Melon Mambo and Basic Black DSP, White embossing powder, Melon Mambo reinker, Black Watercolor crayon, Aqua Painter, Petite Petals punch, Chalk Talk Framelit, Finishing Touches Edgelit, Itty Bitty Shapes punch, Arrows Textured embossing folder, 5/8" White Organza Ribbon, Basic Pearls and Gray Bakers Twine.
Chalk Talk Framelits Dies Punch Pack Petite Petals Clear Bundle Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Geometrical

    Definitely cheery! Every little detail is cute! I especially like that (new?) chevron embossing folder--it seems to be indicating "life is looking up," perfect with your sentiment.

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in!  And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom .  For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink.

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

 It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo!  I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge.   For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears .  This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous.  For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
