cQc #132: STAMPIN' UP!'S PEDAL PRESENTS

I just love the colours in this week's ColourQ challenge.  Poppy Parade is one of those colours that really appeals to me, but that I rarely think to use. 





Last night I was super-excited to come home from work and discover a Stampin' Up! delivery that I had been waiting on (for what seemed like forever!).  Included in the box was the new Pedal Presents stamp set.  I managed to varnish the woodblocks, mount the rubber dies, and stamp with them all in one evening!  (Mind you, I was up late!)


Here's the card I made using this gorgeous colour combination:





..... and a close-up of the sentiment (stamped onto Flirtatious Designer Series Paper), and the tiny flowers that I covered in Crystal Effects:





Stamps: Pedal Presents, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Card: Basic Black, Whisper White, Poppy Parade, Lucky Limeade
DSP: Poppy Parade Patterns Designer Series Paper, Flirtatious Specialty Designer Series Paper
Ink: Versamark inkpad, Basic Black stampin' pad, Pumpkin Pie stampin' pad and marker, Poppy Parade stampin' pad and marker, Lucky Limeade marker
Other: Black embossing powder, Blender pens, Basic Black Scallop Dots Ribbon, Labels Collection Framelits die, Everyday Enchantment brads (Sale-a-Bration), Mat Pack and Paper Piercing Tool, Word Window punch, grass punch (not SU!), Crystal Effects
