Sunday Stamps | SSC147 Cottage Colors

Yeah..It's Sunday and here's a Sunday Stamps Challenge.  With spring just around the corner this is an exciting challenge....



I love these colors however I don't have many of them in my stash just yet.  Before I became a Stampin' Up Demonstrator I would shop the Clearance Rack religiously.  There was one Calyspo Coral embossing powder and I purchased it.  I've used it once in a while and pulled it out for this challenge....




Card Measurements and Supplies:

card base: Sahara Sand #121043 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
base layer: Calypso Coral (#122925) scrap strips
centre layer: So Safron (#105118) scrap strips
top layer: Whisper White (#100730) 2 3/4" x 5 1/2"
inside: Whisper White 4" x 5 1/4"

Stamp set: Balloon Celebration (#140675)
Ink: Lost Lagoon Classic Stampin' Pad retired, as a substitute, I would recommend Mint Macaron #138326
Basic Black Archival Stampin' Pad #140931
VersaMark Stamp Pad #102283
Stampin' Emboss Powder - Calypso Coral, retired, I would recommend Calypso Coral Classic Stampin' Pad #126983
Embossing Buddy #103083
Heat Tool #129053
1" Circle Punch #119868
Layering Circles Framlits #141705
Bakers Twine: Tangelo Twist, retired, I would recommend Calypso Coral Thick Bakers Twine #138412
SNAIL Adhesive #104332
Stampin' Dimensionals # 104430

The cottage to me always signals summer and oranges, grapefruit, lemons and limes just speak summer to me.  This stamp reminds me of the various fruit slices and I thought it was just perfect for this challenge.  The "Love Life" sentiment comes from a retired Sale-A-Bration stamp set, A Happy Thing but any fresh feeling sentiment would do.

I hope you like this project.

  4. Hi Annette, thank you for your feedback. Your challenge was super fun for me so thank you. Before I became a demonstrator I would always shop the clearance rack. I seem to have lots of retired product in my stash. I look forward to playing along again next time. I'd love to see your project with calypso coral embossing power when you get a chance to pull it out.
