Birthday Wishes: cQc #201

Last night I made time to play along with the colourQ Challenge #201.  A rich color combination that I would not have thought of putting together myself. But after seeing the examples and after making my own version, it appears that these colors are pretty darn awesome together! : )  Here's the sketch:

And here's what I came up with:

Can I just say how much I love, love the Modern Mosaic embossing folder?  It is so pretty, and makes the Basic Gray card stock really stand out in a very elegant way.

RECIPE:
STAMPS: Flower Shop, Mosaic Madness and Four You
INK: Basic Gray, Calypso Coral, Night of Navy and Soft Sky
PAPER: Basic Gray, Calypso Coral, Night of Navy and Soft Sky
ACCESSORIES: Modern Mosaic embossing folder, Pansy and Boho Blossoms punches, Basic Pearls, Large Basic Pearls and Calypso Coral Ribbon (retired).

Happy Saturday!  Hope you get to stamp a latte!

 

Hello, you

Last night I was cutting Gingham Garden DS paper for one of the projects we will be making at one of my  upcoming classes.  Of course I had some extra pieces of DSP laying around as well as an Island Indigo stamped flower from the Flower Shop stamp set and a yellow frame I made out of the new Deco Labels Framelits...as a result, a new creation was in order!  Here's what my "extra's" resulted in: 

 What a cheery card, don't you think?  Although the Gingham Garden DSP uses the color Melon Mambo, you can substitute it for Strawberry Slush as I did here (Note: Not all match Strawberry Slush...Melon Mambo does look better with other pieces of DSP from the Gingham Garden collection).

RECIPE:
STAMPS: Flower Shop, Secret Garden and Regarding Dahlias
INK: Island Indigo, Midnight Muse, Pear Pizzazz and Strawberry Slush
PAPER: Strawberry Slush, Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo and Whisper White
ACCESSORIES: Gingham Garden DSP, Deco Label Framelits, Secret Garden Framelits, Pansy punch, Boho Blossoms and Itty Bitty Shapes punches, Finishing Touches Edgelits, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing folder, Daffodil Delight Seam Binding, Basic Pearls, Brights Candy Dots, White craft pad, sponge and glue dots.

Well, that's it for now.  Hope you like it.
