Hello friends!! Popping in on an absolutely gorgeous day here in the Pacific Northwest!! The sun is shining and the skies are blue, blue, blue!! Have a couple of cards to share that I made using Stampin Up! stamps and inks. Thanks to Kimberly I discovered a new challenge blog called TGIF Challenges. Their first challenge is a color one and since I love color challenges I just had to play along! The other challenge I'm playing along with is one of my favorites: ColourQ. I pulled out some of my very favorite Stampin Up! sets and got to work creating the two cards using my favorite stamping technique: collage stamping.
First up is my card for TGIF. For this card I used Kinda Eclectic, Gorgeous Grunge and Yippee Skippee. I don't have Crushed Curry so I used Hero Art's Butter Bar for my yellow. After stamping everything I added a few bits of washi tape to finish things off and the sentiment from Yippee Skippee in black ink. I used a Sahara Sand card base instead of my usual white... trying to mix things up a bit, lol! The second card uses older Stampin Up! sets called Bliss and Artistic Etchings, as well as Gorgeous Grunge. The sentiment is from Kinda Eclectic.

The ColourQ combo is Pear Pizzazz, Barely Banana, Primrose Petal and Early Espresso. I only used Early Espresso for the sentiment and no it didn't stamp really well, but I'm okay with it! Again, I used Sahara Sand cardstock for my base instead of white. ETA: Posting to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge: Anything Goes.

Hello Rosie,
'Yippee Skippee' maybe a colour but it is perfect to describe your card.
It is stunning.
And so is your other one.
Wonderful work as always.

You are so good at collage stamping, Rosemary!!! Both these cards are so lovely - the Sahara sand cs as a base really works so well for both cards!!! Great use of the colours!!! Love them both!!!

Love both cards, Rosemary! Your collage-stamping always catches my eye! I learned of that new TGIF challenge through some of the DT members. (What a wonderful DT!) I "wanted" to play along with the 1st challenge, because I loved the colors...but...it didn't happen. Wish I could come over & create with you! :)
YAY! I'm really loving ALL the much-needed rain we've been having!
