The name of this stamp set cracks me up – it makes me think of one of those “close but not quite” translations. You know the ones. In any event, I used a sketch from the Paper Players to get started:
- Stamps: Happy Congratulations and Petal Parade (SAB)
- Color Palette: Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Pool Party, Whisper White and Black Staz-on
- Accessories: Sweet Sorbet DSP, Big Shot and Decorative Dots TIEF, Pool Party Seam Binding, Oval punch, Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, Rhinestone Jewels, Stampin’ Dimensionals
It’s a fun sketch because it includes a pull-out tag:
The little paper lanterns are very easy to (Two Step) stamp – I just gave ’em the Maui Stamper eyeball – and that panel is lifted on Dimensionals. I think EVERY card should use Dimensionals.
Here’s the sketch. You can see I took a little creative license with it, but that’s all in the game:
Speaking of games, congrats to all you Seahawk 12th Men out there – but what a horrible game. The Super Bowl is supposed to be competitive. I feel for all of you Denver fans. Go read Alexander and Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst. You’ll feel better. Bad days happen. (I’m a 49er fan – we already had our Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day.)
All righty then! A quick little detour and we are adding things to the book list! (Not that I’m above adding to my book list – please feel free to share.) But let’s have one more look at Happy Congratulations (which would be a fine name for a Chinese Restaurant, if you ask me):
Enjoy!
