UStamp Colour Challenge

Have loved this colour combination since I first saw it and had a few ideas in my head about what I would do with it when I got the chance. So between doing the blog hop, playing with my new things and completing over 50 1st birthday/baptism invites for my sister-in-law over the weekend (pics coming) I finally got down to business. I have used quite a few new things from the new Mini Catalogue including the new Melon Mambo :) Love this colour but my favourite is definitely Rich Razzleberry. The feature I wanted to highlight on this card is the new little Buttons #5 sizzlit die. They are soooooo cute. I have also embossed the backgrounds with the Polka-dot embossing folder and combined the buttons with some die cuts from the big catalogue (p.144) and used the five petal flower punch for the leaves. For the stems I have used the new Cottage Garden Stamp set, the butterfly also comes from this cute set. I havent done as many projects from UStamp this round as I have been so busy but this week hopefully will be different! Stay tuned......

Color Inspiration #51

One of my goals this year was to participate in Kristina Werner's Color Inspirations on a regular basis and here is my first attempt. I have used the Fresh Cuts stamp set and matching note cards, some Chocolate Chip Ribbon and Accents and Elements with a brad. I also wanted to try another technique I learnt at Convention this year which was to punch the scallop border and feed it through the crimper. I think it gives it just a little something. Thanks for looking.
