Hi everyone!!! I know I was pretty quiet last week, but I was in Orlando with about 6,000 other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, learning and laughing. One of the fun perks of attending is FREE STAMP SETS!!! They're usually sneak peeks too!!! My card this week features one such set - Humming Along! It's a great coloring set, with a gorgeous little hummingbird that I'll be featuring on a card soon.
This week it's actually kind of a double challenge. We could either use the above photos, or feature our new stamp set. I tried to combine them the best I could, using the colors from the photos and the set!
I colored the flower and rectangle while I was in Orlando, and built the card around the pieces once I got home. The die for the label that the sentiment is stamped on comes in the stamp set's coordinating die set!!! However, do you spot another sneak peek????
I felt like I needed to balance the card out and fill some of the "white space" in the upper left corner, so I stamped the hibiscus again on my Petal Pink cardstock with Petal Pink ink. I stamped it off once first so that it was nice and subtle.
What do you think? Did I manage to do both challenges justice? I really, really, really, hope that you'll play along with us this week. The other members of the Design Team created some gorgeous projects as well to help inspire you. Make sure you check them out!
