SSC#109: Garden in Bloom

Hello, and Happy Sunday! This week at Sunday Stamps! we have a color challenge for you to play along with.  Here's the sketch:

And here's what I made using the following Stampin' UP! colors: Crushed Curry, Island Indigo, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron.

I used the awesome stamp set called Garden in Bloom. You can find it on page 119 of the annual catalog.  I also used the Brick Wall 6 x6 embossing folder.  Such a fun folder! For this card I gently inked up one side of the folder with Crushed Curry ink and ran it thru my Big Shot. I then sponged a little bit on the edges of the "bricks" themselves.  A tone on tone effect looks perfect together. 

How about that cute bee?  Love it!  I also used another stamp set. Do you know what it is and where it is?  It's kind of a  trick question.  I used the Watercolor Wash background stamp set.  It works very well with the Garden In Bloom set because they both have the watercolor look. :)  I stamped it using So Saffron ink. It gives the main white panel a very soft, subtle look. Love it! 



Here's the supplies I used:

I hope you have enjoyed my card for this weeks challenge, and I hope you will hop on over to the Sunday Stamps! challenge blog and join us! We look forward to seeing what you create for this weeks challenge!  Till then, happy stamping!

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. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

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...
