Daisy Lane Colors

Hey all, Happy Wednesday! More shares from me :) Are you joining me in trying to #keepstamping? I was on a roll Monday afternoon, we'll see what the rest of the week brings!!

Here are a couple cards I colored for the next challenge from Stampin' Up! I love the Smile and Friend stamps in the Daisy Lane set, so this time I decided to use the flowers too! The challenge this week is Night Of Navy, Pear Pizzazz and Pumpkin Pie. I struggled briefly with this, as Pumpkin Pie to me says Fall. But then I decided flowers come in all sorts of colors! Two different versions, read the details below.



This one is true to challenge with the colors. I used the regular Stampin' Write markers to color the flower and stem images that were stamped with StazOn ink. Pear on the stem, Navy flower centers and Pumpkin petals. I tried to go lightly and leave some white space. I also took the fine line and went over a few areas for accent. Card base is Very Vanilla, accent layer of Pumpkin Pie and background of Thick Very Vanilla. Sweet and simple! #simplestamping


For this one, I reached for Stampin' Blends. We do not have Pear Pizzazz so I switched to Old Olive for my green. The flowers here are stamped with Memento ink. I generally go over most all the area with the light color first, then accent with the darker and finally blend over where they meet with the light again. These flowers pop to me compared to the other. I did the center with the light Navy and only added a bit of dark before blending again. Flower petals all light, then the outside with dark and blend. Coloring is generally not my thing, but sometimes it just works :) Same cardstock here as above.

Thanks for stopping by today! One more post for sure this week so stay tuned! Let me know if you have any questions or I can help with anything!! Product details and shopping links below.

Positive Triple Challenge

Hey, all! Happy Tuesday :) Days are starting to run together, and I'm still working. Had Friday off for Good Friday though, so I was home 5 full days!! Probably should have spent more time in the stamp room but didn't make it up there until Monday afternoon. But it was a good afternoon! Here is another card that fits the first Stampin' Up! Color Challenge. Coastal Cabana and Mango Melody!


This popped in to my head after the first 3 challenge cards with Positive Thoughts. Seemed like it would be a good fit and it was. Colors are Mango Melody and Coastal Cabana. Triple Time - remember that?? Easy but awesome result! Please see this post with layer details if you need it :) 

I stamped the Hugs saying from Positive Thoughts in Coastal Cabana on the center white and then added flowers. Mango Melody first, Coastal Cabana next then filled as necessary. Remember when doing this technique do NOT freak out when it looks bad when stamping. Adding the layers is like MAGIC!!

Thanks for stopping by today! Several other projects in que, so check back. and hopefully I'm back in creating mode :) Product details and shopping links below.

Positive Thoughts Color Challenge

Hey all! Hope you are doing well and staying well! Ok here, but not stamping much. Just haven't really felt like it, but today I made myself go upstairs and here are 3 cards I just whipped out!

I mentioned on my Facebook page last week, or more likely the week before that Stampin' Up! is issuing a color challenge each week to help us #keepstamping. When I shared the second one this morning I realized I wasn't doing a very good job of keeping stamping! Here is the first card and the challenge colors.




The challenge includes using any or all of the above colors. Terracotta Tile, Grapefruit Grove, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay. Stamp and share! I have the challenge on my Facebook page, you can upload in the comments. Or if you're on the web, share the link here in the comments. Tag it #keepstamping

The stamp set I grabbed for these today is Positive Thoughts from the Mini Catalog. We all need many positive thoughts right now! This first one uses Coastal Cabana, Mango Melody and Bermuda Bay.  The leaf/stem image is Coastal (some full strength, some stamped off once), flowers Mango, butterflies Bermuda. Card base is Bermuda with a Mango Melody accent layer behind the Very Vanilla background. I stamped the background and then put it through the Big Shot in the Subtle Embossing folder. Click to enlarge, it is subtle. Reminds me of the old "textured" cardstock. The saying was stamped in Tuxedo Black on a piece of Very Vanilla and attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.


Next up we have Terracotta Tile, Coastal Cabana and Grapefruit Grove. Very similar but turned the other way.  Stem/leaf image here is Terracotta Tile, again some full strength, some stamped off once. Flowers Coastal Cabana and butterflies Grapefruit. Again textured with the Subtle folder. Card base is Terracotta Tile, accent layer of Coastal Cabana and background Very Vanilla.


Lastly, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Grapefruit Grove. Dropped the leaf/stem image lower on this one. Coastal Cabana, some full strength, some off once. Daffodil Delight flowers, Grapefruit butterflies. Subtle folder again. Accent layer Daffodil, card base Coastal.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see your creations :) Stay in, stay well and #keepstamping!! Product details and shopping links below.
