STENCILED BACKGROUND BLOOM

Image
 Hi, Stampin' Friends -     Yet another colorful "Bloom" dies card.  This time with a colorful, sponge stenciled background, as well.  This one is my favorite, so far - colors and patterns.  I added a little dimension with " Dimensionals under the leaf and the flower center.  I decided to stamp the sentiment on the front and leave the inside blank, except for a flower stamped on the inside from the retired Painted Harvest set by Stampin' Up!.     Supplies below.  Remember, stay curious!

CORRUGATED COLOR and TEXTURE

Image
 Hello, again -     I mentioned in my previous post that I love creating with color.  I also love textures!  The background on this Blossom card is a piece of brown corrugated paper packing material.  I used a bright gold ink pad, direct-to-paper to accentuate the raised areas and along the edges of my card base before adhering the corrugated piece - not easy to see on the photo.     The inside sentiment says:  "May the joy of simple things COLOR your life."  Supplies below. Remember, "Imagination has no age." Stampin' Sue  

PLAYING WITH COLOR - NEW STAMPIN' "TOOLS"

  Hello, fellow stamping (and other) friends!     It's been so long since I posted anything here, I'm not sure I remember how to do it correctly.  But here goes.     As some of you know, I love color and working with color.  I came across lots of beautifully colored samples on Pinterest using these fairly new dies by Sizzix for Tim Holtz and, although I had tried  not to purchase any new stamping items before February, I couldn't resist - I'm too easily inspired - and I know many of you can relate.  Below is a list of the supplies I used for this card.  I'm planning to do a few more, for sure.     Remember, stay curious!     Stampin' Sue
