The Love of Stamping!

Sale-A-Bration Fun, card made and how great the Color Coach is...

I got lots of new stamps in with the Sale-A-Bration and am trying them all out as many as I can....  Plus I bought the Color Coach and it is great to use to get the colors right in a project.  I started with the Gable Green cardstock paper to build my card for today.  Based on the Color Coach, coordinating colors are Apricot Appeal, Cameo Coral, Bashful Blue and Complementary color is Pixie Pink so those are the colors in this card, plus a touch of Whisper White.  I used two stamp sets that are in the Sale-a-bration, Sprinkles for the background butterflies, and the Very Thankful, middle thank you stamp. I am glad I bought the Color Coach so it shows so many ways to put colors together.

Birthday Cards part 1

Here is a birthday card that was so much fun to do...using the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set, stamped with Jet Black StazOn ink so that I could work with the blender pens (102845) and assorted ink pads to color in the cupcake.  It was so easy to do.  Used 2 way glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds glitter to fancy up the frosting.  This is part 1 of 4 of some fun birthday cards from me.

FTL76 sketch - SPCC32 Father's Day-Happy Retirement cards

Today I am entering two at one time challenges... SPCC#32 and Clean&Simple FTL76 Sketch but I did do two cards as I thought these was great to do for fathers day or a happy retirement for a dad, etc.  Not too much but simple over all.  I used the color combo of Close to Cocoa, Basic Grey and Creamy Caramel.  In the Fathers day card I used the Eastern Blooms stamp set, and in the Happy Retirement card I used the I (Heart) Hearts clear stamp set, of course you can get it in the wood too.

PDCCA14 Friend is someone...card

Okay, could not sleep in the middle of the night and had to get up and look what I did.  The Play Date Cafe is having a challenge of colors and the colors to be used was Orange, Lilac, Dusty Pink, Dark Green and White.  And while computers screens can show different colors here was my best match to their colors posted on their site...Only Orange, Lovely Lilac, Melon Mambo, Handsome Hunter, and Whisper White in SU colors.  I like these color challenges as they get you out of your box and makes you work on different color combinations that you might not of used.

PPA27 Snowflake Lake Painting, must read to see how this is done!

I hope you all will enjoy this card, part of the challenge at Pals Paper Arts, of snowflakes, I thought a winter scene would be great to do.  This was a new techinque for me, I wanted to play with the blending pens I got in my starter kit from Stampin' Up.  I only used Whisper White Ink pad on the Night of Navy cardstock. Was a bit undecided of the snowflake edging I did on the Bashful Blue card but it was just too plain without.  I have oil painted for years (www.paintwithbarb.com).  The "key" to doing this card was to work on the "painting" from the front of the foreground to the back of the background.
