Sunday Stamps! Challenge #117


Hello, crafty friends! Happy New Year!  How can it already be  January 3, 2016?   Time just keeps flying by!  Today is the first Sunday of the new year, so you know what that means...Yes, a new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  And its an awesome color challenge.  Take a look.

  

I actually ended up making two cards, and couldn't really decide which one I liked the best so I am sharing both of them here for you!  I used a new 2016 Sale-a-bration stamp set called Honeycomb Happiness.  Earn this item FREE with a $50 order from my online store starting 1/5/16! The images in this SAB stamp set are so cute! And coloring them is a breeze!  Given the colors in the challenge, I chose to use the ice cream cone image.  Who doesn't like ice cream, right?

For my first card, I decided to make a watercolor background using my Aqua Painter and Melon Mambo and Crumb Cake Ink refills. After it dried, I added circles using my white craft pad and sponge daubers.


For my 2nd card, I played with the same colors except I also used added another new item called the Confetti Textured Embossing Folder available in the upcoming 2016 Occasions Catalog. 


Supplies for both cards:

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...
