Stampin Up, PPA 289, Featured Designer

It's spring! At least it is here in AZ. But don't worry, it'll turn chilly again for a month or so, and May should be gorgeous, then it's just plain hot!

Anyway, I, yes little old Me, is the featured designer on PPA this week! How fun it that?! Please come join us! We have a color challenge, and if you don't like them, guess you can blame me. I picked them out.

Here are the colors:

I used my favorite background stamp, Hardwood. I love this stamp, and from what I see of all the cards by other people, I think a lot of them love it too.
The wreath framelits originally came out as a bundle with a Christmas stamp set, then we got this pretty spring stamp set and another Christmas stamp set. I have them all.

This stamp set is Circle of Spring, it also makes a really nice Easter card. The Framelits are called Wonderful Wreath Framelits, both are in your Annual catalog.
I also used Timeless Textures for all the drops and a 3/16"silver brad and used my Wink of Stella pen on the popped up flowers and in a few other places as well. It's such a subtle glittery shine it just doesn't pick up well on camera, but it sure looks fabulous in person.

I do hope you will play along with me, just click on the PPA banner to the right at the top.

To recap:
Circle of Spring stamps
Wonderful Wreath Framelits
Wink of Stella
Blender pen
Timeless Textures stamps
3/16" silver brad

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Stampin Up, Mojo monday 429

I am so ready to use something besides Christmas colors. I haven't played with the Mojo monday crew in a while and liked this sketch, so here it is.

When I saw the sketch, the DSP jumped into my head, along with the rose framelits.
Timeless Elegance, I think they go well together.

Colors are Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette and Pear Pizzazz.

I used Wink of Stella, avail in clear and gold in the new Occasions catalog going live tomorrow the 5th of Jan. Let's see if you can see it in this close up.

It seems to show, but doesn't really look sparkly, but it sure adds to the card, I used some on the rose at the top left corner as well.

Thanks for stopping by, and see below for a link to the products used here.
