Stampin Up Pals Paper Arts challenge #307

Swirly Scribbles Thinlits! My favorite set in the years annual catalog, and apparently many others as well. There is no shortage of samples. It does make it a little difficult to come up with something different when using them and mine isn't so different, but helpfully not exactly like every other one you have seen. It's such a fun set and I have lots more pieces I haven't played with just yet.

This week colors were chosen by our very own Brian King,

I used watercolor paper for my top layer and watercolored the Pool Party background adding in some grunge in the form of splatter dots. I used 2 die cuts putting one in the middle of the other, then cut some of the little flowers and leaves out using the dies for them.

For my sentiment I used the Thoughtful Banners bundle, tons and tons of sentiments along with some banners to stamp and punch out.

A pearl in the center of the middle flower and I was done. Thanks for stopping by to look. Here is the colors:

Stampin Up, Playing around with new product

The title says it all, I just had to sit down and play. I love this set, Sunshine Wishes Bundle. Tons of sentiments and the die set has words, Sunshine was one of them. I used the Seaside embossing folder for some texture, I can see it used with the Umbrella set as rain too. As well as water with the Seaside set. I love mixing and matching!

The colors used here are from the new Incolor set, Flirty Flamingo and Dapper Denim along with Whisper White for the card base.
To get the curve for my banner, I used the Have a from the set and placed it, then put the Happy in afterward.

I cut the Sunshine out of a piece from the Subtles DSP stack, I love those stacks, you always have a color of DSP that you need.

I do so hope you enjoyed my saturday card this week, I have not been doing as many cards lately, but have been concentrating on my classes instead. I shall try to do more.

Have a great week!
