LAST CHANCE: PLAYING IN THE RAIN

Welcome to my April Last Dance/Last Chance series. If you love cute critters, check out Playing in the Rain. The dies include delightful clouds, a fence, a kite, and of course those cute critters!

  • Stamps: Playing in the Rain, Translucent Floral
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Petal Pink, Azure Afternoon, Soft Sea Foam, Old Olive, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Playing in the Rain dies, Bright Skies dies, Toadstool Gardens DSP, Brights DSP pack, Colored Pencils, Stampin’ Dimensionals

These are not the Playing in the Rain clouds, they’re Bright Skies clouds. They’re much bigger, and that worked best for this layout. I colored that bunny with our colored pencils to achieve a softer appearance. I think that bunny has serious Easter Bunny energy!

Check out the Playing in the Rain Stamps and Dies to see if that’s your kind of Bunny (or Turtle, or Foxy) Energy. And thanks for stopping by!

Processing…
Success! You're on the list.

On the Gonna Miss List: Gorgeous Grunge

I remember the catalog when Gorgeous Grunge was released. I was at the Stampin’ Up! convention in Salt Lake City and if I’m not mistaken, the talented Pam Morgan introduced this stamp set and told us how much we were going to use it. At first glance, I wasn’t sure, but by the end of her presentation I was convinced.

  • Stamps:  Gorgeous Grunge, Number of Years
  • Color Palette:  Wild Wasabi, Sweet Sugarplum, Whisper White, Crushed Curry
  • Accessories:  Stampin’ Write Markers, Thick White Bakers Twine, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Brights DSP pack (sold out)

I can’t begin to list the cards I’ve made using one of the images from Gorgeous Grunge. It adds a little bit of texture, fills a gap in a design, or creates a background as I’ve done here.

This particular stamp is very forgiving with regard to placement – really, they all are – and that makes it easy to create texture or a design element without beating your head against the desk. (Not that I do that often, but it’s possible.)
