Accented Thanks ~ Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #333

Hello stampers!  It's Tuesday, which means it's time for an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge.

I was a little stumped with these colors at first...but as I was looking through all of my stamp sets, Accented Blooms jumped out at me.  I knew these pretty flowers would be gorgeous in this weeks Color Challenge colors!

I paired up my Stampin' Blends with my Stampin' Write Markers to color these pretty flowers and leaves. After heat embossing the sentiment in black, I fussy cut the image and placed it on my favorite black and white striped Golden Honey Specialty DSP.  

I added a few little embellishments and ribbon for the finishing touches. I'm loving the bright colors with the black and white stripes.  I hope I never run out of this DSP!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Whisper White, Golden Honey Speciality DSP

Ink ~ Memento, Gorgeous Grape Stampin' Write Marker, Stampin' Blends: Lovely Lipstick, Mint Macaron, Purple Posey

Stamp Set ~ Accented Blooms

Thank you for stopping by today!  Be sure to join in the fun and play along with us.

Happy Stamping!

#TGIFC216 Sketch Challenge

Hooray for Friday!

It's time for an all new TGIF Challenges and this week we have a fun sketch for you!  Be sure to check out our amazing design team creations and join along in the fun!  

The last day of school for my boys was Wednesday, which means my mornings are a lot less chaotic and I have a bit more time for stamping!  I enjoyed some color therapy with Accented Blooms, which was the perfect stamp set for our sketch this week!

With all of the bright colors of the flowers, I thought it would be fun to created a black and white striped background.  If you've seen my wardrobe, you know I LOVE anything with black and white stripes!  I stamped different sections of the flowers in black for the banner.  I thought about adding a little bit of color, but liked them as they are!

After coloring the flowers, I outlined the images with my Light Pool Party Stampin' Blend and fussy cut the image.  I love how the Pool Party makes the flowers pop even more against the black and white stripes!  

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Basic Black

Stamp Set ~ Accented Blooms

Ink ~ Memento, Stampin' Blends:  Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, Pineapple Punch, Blackberry Bliss, Bermuda Bay 

Other Supplies ~ Tailored Tag, Banner Triple Punch, Silver Metallic Thread, Rhinestones

I am SO ready for the weekend!  This week has been insanely busy at work and my brain has had to work too hard.  I just need to make it through next Wednesday, then I get to enjoy nearly 8 weeks of summer break with my boys!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Happy Stamping!
