Sunday Stamps! #159

Hello, stamping friends.  Welcome back to a new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  This week we are working with a color challenge.
Here's what I made using the Graceful Garden stamp set.

I had so much fun experimenting with the large flower image in this set. Here's this weeks challenge:

Stampin' UP! colors I used to create my card are: Daffodil Delight, Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo.  

And did you notice the Garden Trellis Embossing Folder? LOVE.  I used my brayer and inked White Craft ink across the raised side of the folder before running it thru my Big Shot.  It gives it a soft, elegant look.


To create the roses, I stamped them and then water colored the edges of the petals in the same color ink using my Aqua Painter.  The vellum leaves are from the Oh So Eclectic Bundle.  I haven't touched that set yet- yikes!  I think I have too many sets, if that's possible....nooooooo!
Garden Trellis Embossing Folder (143741)


Graceful Garden (143849)





Did you know that if you place an order of at least $40 using my August Host Code, you can earn the Garden Trellis Embossing folder for FREE?  See my rewards page HERE.

Now its time to head over to the Sunday Stamps! challenge blog and see what the other design team members created and then join us.  You have until Friday, August 25, 2017, to play along.  Hope to see you join the fun!

Happy Stamping!

    Gosh Annette,

    Your card has so much to appreciate! I like the reverse embossing on the backdrop, the doily and the vellum leaves is brilliant. Great card - I'm sure it will be displayed with pride by someone special.

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...
