Delight in Life - Barely Banana

Delight in Life is one of the great free Sell-A-Bration sets offered this year for every $50. order! I used several of the stamps from this set for this card today; it was pretty quick and easy to make and the idea came from a swap card that I saw at a friend's home. Colors used are Certainly Celery, Cameo Coral and Barely Banana in both inks and paper. I used the Aquapainter and inks to add some color to the flower then added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter (we girls love a little bling!) to the flower center using my SU Glue Pen. Apricot grosgrain ribbon down the left side finishes the design.

Sell-A-Bration continues from now until February 26. I love getting the free stamps, don't you?

Pink and Brown!

I love pink and brown together! Actually this is Regal Rose stamped with the Floral background stamp on Pretty in Pink cardstock to be exact, then layered over Chocolate Chip which has been stamped with Regal Rose Craft Ink using the leaf from Carte Postale. The ribbon across the center is the ruffley chocolate ribbon from the Flirty assortment (Winter Mini). Flowers from the Sell-A-Bration set Delight in Life (love this set) were stamped in Basic Brown on Pretty in Pink cardstock, then colored with Regal Rose ink (refill) using my Aquapainter. They were then layered with Dimensionals over the chocolate and rose grosgrain ribbons.
I used the Word Window Punch to punch out "Bonjour" and then sponged it with Chocolate Chip to soften it.
This card reminds me of a fancy party dress with scallops and ruffles and a flower corsage! :D)
Oh, and the scallops? This is a new and unexpected use of one of our SU punches. Book a party and I'll show you and your friends how to do this also! It's easy but effective!

Hope you are enjoying the sunshine! I'm hoping the ice in my driveway will melt before the next storm arrives! : )
