We had a good and busy day Tuesday, time with the kids, errands (some new bar stools for the kitchen :)!), and I reorganized my stamps in preparation for a HUGE retired stamp sale I'll be having in August. There are probably 100 sets I'll be hoping can find a new home! It feels good to have some breathing room. But of course...then you want some new stamps! :)
So tonight I saw Roxie's sketch challenge, I had some pretty colors and a set in mind already. Things came easy then!
I am crazy about this color combo right now. Bermuda Bay, Kiwi Kiss and Whisper White. I think I first saw something like it on Chat's blog.
I watercolored the striped flowers in Bermuda, and the lily flower in Kiwi and cut it apart to create leaves, neat hey?
I embossed the striped flower on the Bermuda layer in the background with overstamping in Bermuda. The largest white layer shows the debossed Manhattan Floral folder, which goes so well with this set.
That's the word from me today!
Recipe: Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral, Sweet Little Sentiments; Ink: Black Stazon, Craft White, Bermuda Bay; Paper: Bermuda Bay, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss Patterns; Accessories: Big Shot, Manhattan Flower Folder, Dimensionals, Reinkers, In Color 10 Markers, Corduroy Brads, Bermuda Bay Dotted Ribbon, Modern Label Punch, White Embossing Powder
