Just for you card, #fms335

I'm showcasing a couple of retiring stamp sets with this card. They will be gone by the end of this month.  Flirty Flowers and Teeny Tiny Wishes.  Wow, the sentiment set has been in the catalog for a long, long time. So, if you are interested in either one, you might want to place that order.  The Cherry Cobbler twine is retired, however I wouldn't be surprised to see it pop up at Holiday time.

I used Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green and Whisper White.   I'm also using the Challenge sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for this week.  Head over here to see what everyone else has done.

One of my favorite tools is embossing folders, this one is called Layered leaves and is current.  And the leaves are from the Flourish Thinlit dies, also staying in the new catalog.  I did emboss this flower. I have a very old jar of Cherry Cobbler embossing powder that I used.

Freshly Made Sketches #298, Just for You

Another great sketch this week over at Freshly Made Sketches. This time it's from a friend of mine, she does awesome cards and every week is an inspiration, Linda Callahan.

So, stop on over by CLICKING HERE.  And check out Linda's card and the rest of the team.

I did my rose on vellum.  I love working on vellum, it kind of disappears showing you just the design. I stamped using my Berry Burst, allowed it to dry, (this can take awhile), then flipped it over and used my Blender pen on the back side to finish coloring in.  And that is it.   Easy one today.

My colors are, Whisper White, Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist, Smoky Slate, and Basic black.  If I had stamped my rose in archival black, it would have dried much quicker, but you can always hit it with a bit of heat from the heat gun to help it along too.

Here is the sketch:

Stampin Up Pals paper arts color Challenge #263

Yup, another card using this awesome stamp. You'd think there wasn't any other stamp in the set, but there are. The leaves you see stamped under the large one are in the set and there are some sentiments and a couple more sizes and shapes of leaves.

The corners are done using a new corner punch, it has three sides, this is one.  I stamped on vellum using the new Archival Basic black SU ink from the new Holiday catalog. Ordering from that starts on Sept 1.

On the back side I sponged my colors, because I put it over a busy background I also cut the leaf out of Whisper White and put them together.  I used glue dots, often they can be used so they don't show on the vellum.

Here are this weeks colors:

Love, love, love this color combo.  Come on over and play.
