Stamp Off Art Gallery Color Challenge


 We've arrived at another Stamp Off Friday, with Susan,
Buffy and me.  This week, we are featuring a color challenge.



This color combo really felt boho to me.   That is why I 
selected a layer of the Golden Garden Designer
Specialty Acetate (page 33 of the Jan-June 2021 Mini).
From there, I worked to coordinate the rest of the product
with this layer.  So it was a no-brainer to use the 
Art Gallery on page 34 of this Mini.   I really didn't want to
add more to the focal image, so I indented the side of 
the card, to add the sentiment there.  I ran the Well
Written dies (page 183) over a piece of Gold Foil.
The Night of Navy background strip was run through
the Lace 3D Embossing Folder, on page 184, to
add some texture.

My only other plan was to add some Wink of Stella, but 
I have run out!!  This would have given the focal image
some sparkle, to coordinate it with the rest of the card.

Thanks for stopping by.  Please click on to see what Buffy
and Susan have done with this color challenge!

Snailed It with Fine Art Floral


 Happy St Patrick's day!!  I don't send out cards for this
holiday, but I love green.  In this case, greeny-blues.

I got out a piece of the Fine Art Floral Designer Series 
Paper (page 33 of the Jan-June 2021 Mini Catalog), 
containing a combination of greens and blues.
It felt like a perfect background for a snail.  The Snailed It set 
on page 55, with coordinating Snail Dies works for any gender,
age and event.  This snail is so much fun to color with
Stampin' Blends and doesn't even require a sentiment! 
I added a strip of the lovely Golden Garden
Designer Specialty Acetate.  Did you know that it is
gold colored on one side, and silver on the other?!
I love it.  Somehow, the combination of that cheeky
snail, with fancy papers worked.

Finally, I ran the background layer through the
Painted Texture 3D Embossing folder (page 33 of the
Jan-June 2021 Mini Catalog).  This embossing folder 
sort of matches the texture pattern of the paper.
The card base is Soft Sea Foam.

Delicate Petals with Lacy Petals Dies


 The Delicate Petals set (page 57 of the Jan-June 2021
Mini Catalog) with coordinating Lacy Petals Dies is an
elegant combo.  The images are great for coloring with blends.
You can piece together the components, to create your card.

I ran the base layer through the Tin Tile 3D embossing folder
(page 185) and added a strip of the Love You Always Foil
Sheets on page 11 of the Mini.  I colored the Ladybug Trinket
with Stampin' Blends and attached it with a mini glue dot.  Those
little ladybugs are absolutely wonderful!
