Coastal {Cabana} Petals

Happy Friday and welcome to an all new TGIF Challenges Color Challenge!

I am all about black and white with a pop of color!  I stared out using the Water Painters to create a background with Coastal Cabana on a piece of Shimmery White, but wasn't totally happy with how it turned out.  I set it aside and decided to go in a different direction with the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and Penned Flowers dies. After die cutting the outline image of the flowers, I had the perfect use for the background piece I had set aside! I cut out a section of the background using the large flower die to go behind the outline image.  This is why I never throw things away!

I cut a few pieces of the coordinating Beautifully Penned DSP, which you can earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration when you spend $50 US.  This paper is all black and white patters and SO pretty!  A little flag of Coastal Cabana was tucked in, then all layered on a piece of Basic White, embossed with the new Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.  Another pop of Coastal Cabana was added behind the Basic White, layered on top of a Basic Black card base.

A simple "Thanks" sentiment, a little bit of black twine, a few rhinestones and a touch of Coastal Cabana splatter tied everything together.  This is a color combination that I will most certainly be using again soon!

I hope you will join along in the fun and share you Color Challenge creations with us!

Happy Stamping!

Hand-Penned Petals ~ Monday Montage

 

Hello friends and welcome back to another Monday Montage Blog Hop!  Be sure to make your way through all the stops...you won't want to miss a single project from this amazing group of stampers!

Once again, after seeing some of the beautiful projects created using the soon-to-be-available Hand-Penned Suite, I just had to add it to my collection. 

I stamped the largest bloom in the set and colored it with Stampin' Blends in shades of Daffodil Delight, Pale Papaya and Shaded Spruce.  I created a pretty background by stamping the solid flowers in shades of Blushing Bride, Pale Papaya and Mint Macaron.  Using the Blending Brushes, I added a bit of Blushing Bride around the edges and added just a few splatters of Blushing Bride as well. The Penned Flowers Dies are AMAZING and one was just perfect to tuck behind the bold flower and soft background.  These pieces were paired up with a beautiful piece of Hand-Penned DSP and finished off with some Gold Fine Art Ribbon, Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon and a few Genial Gems.  The pretty little sentiment is heat embossed in white and cut with the Tasteful Labels dies.

Next up is the card that used ALL of the new stuff!  Tailored Made Tags and Basic Borders paired up with the Hand-Penned Suite to create this beautiful thank you card.  I used the two-step floral image, bringing Misty Moonlight, Pale Papaya and Mint Macaron together to match the Hand-Penned DSP. This was layered on a Misty Moonlight die cut circle, which was embossed with the Greenery embossing Folders.  Using the Basic Borders Dies, I cut the bottom of the card base front, allowing some pretty DSP to peek through from the inside of the card.  You are going to LOVE these dies!  The Tailored Made Tags was tailor made for the Thanks sentiment and the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon was the prefect way to top it all off!

I hope to be back a bit more this week, but I make no promises.  My youngest is going back to school for full days this week for the first time in over a year AND we have 5 baseball games this week.  That makes me tired just typing it!

Happy Stamping!
