Today I was inspired by a card I saw in an old Stampin' Up! brochure. The SU! example used browns and greens, but I much preferred my colour combination of blues and browns. They are cool colours too (and by cool, I mean in relation to the temperature! Or more specifically cool vs. warm tones!) and I love them so much - I have been playing with lots of ideas - if only the weather would let me sit down and play! So here it is.... Even my Wonderful Husband liked this one!
Stamps: Polka Dot Punches
Inks: Stampin' Up! Classic Chocolate Chip
Papers: Stampin' Up! Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip & DSP- Afternoon Tea
Tip: Use Stampin' Up!s glue dots to stick your buttons down! Inside the card I have adhered whisper white paper so that you can actually write inside the card!
There are a couple of things I should mention with this card! The taffeta ribbon in this shade of blue is not from Stampin' Up!. Stampin' Up! have beautiful ribbons (and I really love them) including taffeta ribbon unfortunately not in the shade I have used for this card. The colour is actually not quite blue but not a green tone either - but it matches the Afternoon Tea DSP perfectly (I took a swatch of the papers into my local sewing shop to match!).
Also .... the Polka Dot Punches stamp set is one of the exclusive sets featured in the current Sale-A-Bration catalogue and when this special offer finishes, they won't be available again! If you love this stamp set (and yes - it's gorgeous!) - contact me now to put in an order of $100 or more to get your own free and exclusive set!
That's all from me today. Must be about bed time I suppose!
