Dance

Beautiful You has got to my favorite stamp set that Stampin' Up has come out with in ages.  So fun to color, great sentiments and a wonderful font.  For this card I colored her with color pencils and gamsol then omitted part of the sentiment on the dance and live, laugh, love stamps.  I the image out with Cottage Cutz stitched dies and also the layer from Brushed Silver Metallic.  I then layered them on the card base which was stamped with Gorgeous Grunge using the same Smoky Slate ink I used to stamp both the girl and and sentiments.

Have a happy Stampin' Day.

Tiled Hues

This is my second card for today's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Take me away from my "Happy Place" for a week and I won't leave for a day.  The new set Beautiful You from Stampin' Up keeps calling to me, in this case though it called for me to get out my old "Summer by the Sea" set.   I did use a new sentiment from the "Beautiful You" set.  The border stamp on the bottom I thought mimicked waves.  I wish I could say who made this stamp but I am at a loss.  The color palette I used is Indigo Island, Bermuda Bay, Night of Navy, Pool Party, Blush Blossom and Smoky Slate.  I  heat embossed the sentiment with white EP.  Not sure if you can see it but the water is sparkling thanks to  Wink of Stella. the focal image was cut out using Cottage Cutz stitched rectangle dies.  My cousin is retiring this month so this card is earmarked for her.

Happily Stamping

Brighter Tomorrow

Had to make another card today with this set.  Just love it.  Stampin' Up has a winner here I think, the images are so pretty and with so many sentiments to go with them and the font....gorgeous.

The image was stamped in archival black and colored with smoky slate and night of navy with a light touch with a blender pen.  Matted on night of navy and smoky slate.   Hope it inspires you.

Happy Stamping,
Heather

IC575 Beautiful You Inspiration

The inspiration challenge over at Splitcoaststampers today was to pick a somethings from the Anthropologie catalogue for your inspiration.  Tons of idea's came to me but when I saw this one I right away thought of my brand new set  from the yet to be released Stampin' Up set called Beautiful You.  I used Archival Black on Whisper White thick cardstock and layered it on Gold Foil cardstock.  I cut the card into a square 4.5 size.

Hope you have a happy stampin' day.
