Color Challenge

The colors for the color challenge this week at Splitcoast Stampers are Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip, and Always Artichoke, with the dessert option to pop up all or part of the image. Now, I know I have Tangerine Tango cardstock, I just saw it the other day, but I had to pull out every piece of cardstock I own to find it. The good news is my paper shelves look tidier than they have in months, the bad news is I never found the Tangerine Tango!! So here you see Pumpkin Pie, my Authentique dp does come very close to TT and I heat embossed the Sweet n Sassy roses and mixed Pumpkin Pie and Poppy Parade ink to water color them.

Stamps: Sweet n Sassy - Rose Blossom
Accessories: embossing folders, Spellbinder dies, SU brad, seam binding ribbon, heat embossing, water pen and SU ink pads.

I chose to make a Father's Day card with the beautiful 'Light My Way Home' set by Mark's Finest Papers. The lighthouse is colored with copics and the sky with chalks. I embossed the background with a shell embossing folder and added royal blue jewel stickers and a metal brad sticker, finishing it off with a blue sheer knot.

Sweet n Sassy Stamps New Release and Blog Hop

I made two cards for the new release, the first one is with the new 'Under His Wings' set. I thought this would be a perfect image for a Father's Day card, so I used the masculine colors of kraft and Crumb Cake with some bright yellow for excitement. I finished it off with manly embossing folders and a gingham knot.


Stamps: Sweet n Sassy Stamps - Under His Wings

I love seam binding ribbon, so this wasn't a hard challenge! I colored this MFP rose from the Love Remains set with copic markers and added dimension to the layers with foam tape. The oval under the rose and the strip on the bottom were embossed with embossing folders.

Graduation Cutie
