The Maui Stamper

I spent a lot of time playing with color palettes to go with the various Feels Like Frost papers. I wanted to bring out the unexpected and non-traditional colors, and I feel like I accomplished that with this birthday card:

• Stamps: Honestly, I don’t know. I can’t find it anywhere. Help??
• Color Palette: Shimmery White, Rococco Rose, Night of Navy, Soft Suede (unexpected, wouldn’t you say??)
• Accessories: Feels Like Frost DSP, Stitched Rectangles dies, Dotted Swiss White Tulle Ribbon, Christmas Layers dies, Metallic Sequins (retired), Rococco Rose Ink refill, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I tried using Stampin’ Blends to color the Dotted Tulle Ribbon, but the color came out much darker than I wanted even with the light toned marker. I decided to try dying it with the ink refill. It worked – the second time! The first time I thought I should rinse it out and the color immediately left the ribbon. I made another batch (a bunch of ink in a little water, it’s really about how dark you want it) and once I’d reached the color I wanted I let it dry on top of a paper towel. I’m going out on a limb here to say I don’t think it’s colorfast!!!!

I’m pleased with the end result. I think if you swapped the Night of Navy and the Rococco Rose all around, you’ d have a great masculine card. Hmmm…
