JAI # 171: A SKETCH, AND SOME YUMMY NEW STAMPIN' UP! COLOURS

This week at Just Add Ink, we have yet another of Mae's great sketches to work from, to make a card or other papercraft project.

I had a great time playing with some of the gorgeous new colours that are being released in Stampin' Up!'s range on 2nd July.  One of the great perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is having access to new products early.  I have used some sneak-peek product that I received for free at Convention, along with other products I've been able to pre-order this month.

Here's what I have created with the new colours of Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe and Baked Brown Sugar:

How cute is the clay flower? **Exciting new product alert!!**  You can create your own air-dried clay flowers and buttons, in three sizes, and colour-match them to your SU! projects, using ink.  Woohoo!

Here's a list of the products used on this card:

STAMPIN' UP'S "TEA FOR TWO" FOR STB #7

This week's challenge at Seize the Birthday is to make a feminine birthday card based on this sketch:

 

 

 

I wanted to have a play with Stampin' Up!'s gorgeous Tea For Two Designer Series Paper, so that formed the basis of my card, and determined my colour choices.  I like the fact that the sketch looks to be a square; I don't often make square cards, but today have created one that's 13cm square.

 

How cool is it that the flower in Stampin' Up!'s "Oh, Hello" stamp set matches the flower on the sheet of paper I've used?  Take a look:
