So Much Love

We have a beautifully bold Color Challenge this week over at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  What will you create with Night of Navy, Berry Burst and Pretty Peacock?

We have been reminded lately that we need to be so much more intentional with letting important people in our lives know just how much we love and care about them.  Love For You is the perfect stamp set for this!

I stamped the flowers, tone on tone, in Berry Burst and the leaves in Pretty Peacock.  Sticking with the color combination, I stamped the center in Night of Navy.

The sentiment was also stamped in Night of Navy on Basic White and die-cut with a Night of Navy die-cut background.  A few Night of Navy hearts helped tie everything together.  The only embellishments needed were a few Gold Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins. 

Are you a fan of bold colors like these?  Share with us what you are inspired to create with them!

Happy Stamping!

What Would You Do...

...with a Navy Blue background?

Make a graduation card, of course!  This weeks TGIF Challenges was no challenge at all with graduation season in full swing!

I created a watercolor wash background with just a splash of gold Wink of Stella. (So thankful I still have that in my stash!) Some Distressed Gold Alphabet A La Mode letters were cut, which I layered a few times to help GRAD pop up just a bit more.

Congratulations and You Did It were stamped on water color paper and some Distressed Gold confetti brought the celebration in to full swing!

I have several more grad cards to make and I think this may be my go-to design for this year.  Stay tuned for a few more color variations!

What will you do with a Navy Blue background? Be sure to share your creation with us this week at TGIF Challenges.

Happy Stamping!

Love You So Much

Now that Christmas and New Years are behind us, I am ready for sunny spring weather and pretty flowers!  Sadly, I know we have a couple more months of wintery weather to come, so I'll have to make do with pretty flowers created in my craft room!

I always love a stamp set with a big sentiment!  The Love For You bundle has a couple of those big sentiments AND dies to cut them out...flowers too!

I stamped So Much Love in Night of Navy and For You in Melon Mambo then pieced them together to say Love You So Much.  It's been a while since I've used Melon Mambo and I forgot how much I love it.  

I was going to go with a Night of Navy card base, but it was too dark.  I had a Bermuda Bay card base left over from another project and it ended up being perfect with the other colors.  

There are lots of great sentiments with the Love For You stamp set that can be used for several different occasions, so plan on seeing more fun cards made with this bundle soon!

Happy Stamping!
