Pretty Parasol

Before I put my Umbrella Builder punch away, I decided to make one more creation but this time I focused on the smaller umbrella image in the Pretty Parasol stamp set.  Although I did not emboss this image, it also looks fantastic embossed.

I stamped 5 umbrellas in Memento Black ink and colored them with the retiring 2019-2021 In Color Stampin' Blends: Seaside Spray, Rococo Rose, Purple Posy and Pretty Peacock.  The last umbrella was colored with the Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends which matches the retiring Terracotta Tile In Color perfectly.

My favorite embossing folder of all time is the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and it is now also on the Retirement List.  It has been in the Stampin' UP! catalog a very long time, and it will be missed.

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.

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...
