SSC 125: Thinking of You

Hello, fellow crafty friends. It's Sunday and that means its time for a new challenge at  Sunday Stamps! This week we are working with color.  A pallet of soft colors to choose from. You can use all the colors on your project or at least three.  Here's this weeks challenge:

I choose to use all the colors and here's what I came up with:

I used the In the Meadow stamp set to create my card.  The mountains were stamped in Lost Lagoon ink and water colored using my aqua painter with Wisteria Wonder and Perfect Plum ink refills. The lake and sky were created with a sponge dauber using Soft Sky and Blushing Bride ink.  When I was satisfied with my sun set, I created the shadows on the lake with my aqua painter and Wisteria Wonder ink.  I kept it simple, not adding any bling- which is relatively hard for me to do. :)


Supplies:
  • Stamps: In the Meadow (140754), Teeny Tiny Wishes (127802)
  • Ink: Lost Lagoon, Wisteria Wonder, Perfect Plum, Soft Sky , Blushing Bride and Basic Black
  • Paper: Wisteria Wonder, Lost Lagoon and Soft Sky
  • Accessories: Soft Sky DSP (138437), Tiny Triangles embossing folder (133740), Calypso Coral Bakers Twine
Now its your turn to join in the fun! But before you go, please check out what the other design team members have created:

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...
