Color Challenge or Color Challenged!

Happy Birthday / August 30, 2023 / Wanted to Say Dies

Sometimes I love playing around with different color schemes and at other times I seem to be color challenged. Of all my color choices with Stampin’ Up! I find that I use my Flirty Flamingo the least, so I thought I would challenge myself to see what I could come up with. I decided to use Pool Party, Lemon Lime Twist and realized whenever I use a three color combo, I am color challenged! LOL

Today is my daughter’s 30th birthday and I am blessed to be able to celebrate her today. I know she will like this bright and cheery color combo. Happy Birthday sweetheart, let’s Celebrate You-today and everyday!

I used the Celebrate die from Wanted to Say, cropping the background pieces with Basic Black cardstock and the detailed die with Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party. The present and hearts are some of the dies included with the Wanted to Say die set. I then stamped the “You” from Sentimental Park in Memento Black. I probably should have stamped it with Flirty Flamingo ink, after all I am supposed to be challenging myself to use that color more.

Oh well, I guess old habits die hard! Let me know in the comments if you love a color challenge or if you are color challenged! Either way, I hope this card inspires you to create something beautiful to share with others. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Translucent Florals –

Happy Birthday / August 22, 2023

Well the weekend at Danvers Days was so much fun and the weather was absolutely beautiful, but not so much this week. So glad that event is not this weekend. CLICK HERE for our August Stamp Camp Class dates and be sure to RSVP if you are planning to join us.

My card today comes from a demonstrator event in July. Ornetta Gilliam was so sweet to offer me one of her card swaps even though I did not have time to make any cards for the swap. Thank you Ornetta for your kindness and your beautiful card.

Ornetta’s beautiful card was created using the Translucent Florals stamp set that will be available in the upcoming September mini catalog. It looks like she used Tahitian Tide, Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive ink. I think she used the Deckled Rectangles Dies to add the Gorgeous Grape and Tahitian Tide panels.

You cannot tell from the picture but she used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up that panel and added a few basic rhinestones to seal the deal. It is a very pretty card and I am so grateful to Ornetta for sharing it with us. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae
