Stampin' Up! Color Combo Challenge #10: Rose Red, So Saffron, Wild Wasabi

It's always good to challenge yourself and try and combine colors that you wouldn't normally put together.  Usually when you pair the right combos together, it just seems to take shape.  I used Stampin' Up! Flowering Flourishes with Wild Wasabi and then stamped the flowers in Rose Red separately and cut them out.  I used the new Banner Triple Punch to make the banner below.

Color Combo Challenge #10

Technique Tuesday: Velvet Embossing

When you look at the first photo of the Velvet Embossing Technique, it just looks like a plain black Top Note die cut.  But as you can see in the second photo...  there is a pattern in the background and it looks like velvet.  Very cool.

Paint Chip Inspiration #15: Lovely As A Tree Masculine Card

Made this card in a class last year, but had to share as part of my Paint Chip Inspiration series.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Thinlits: BIrthday Wishes

This beautiful card was made by Lilly Ruiz.  This was her swap card for our Spring Fling event.  I just love that butterfly... it looks great with any color.

Stampin' Up! Sympathy Card

Unfortunately I needed to make a few sympathy cards this weekend.  I kept it simple, but pretty and hopefully it will make them smile.
