Today I have some cards featuring Stampin' Up!'s 2019-2020 In Colors: Rococo Rose, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, and Purple Posy. These colors will be available in various forms in early June.
First let's take a look at the card using the retiring set, Foxy Friends. I've got a little puzzle for you.
- I used Pretty Peacock on the trees and Terracotta Tile for the fox, which is punched out with
- The greeting...is from a retiring set too. I think. As I write this, though, I just can't find it. Leave me a comment if you know what it is from.
- I initially stamped the trees on a full 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of cardstock. When I thought it needed something more I stamped stripes on either side of the front of a Whisper White card. I trimmed off 1/2" from either side of the tree and fox panel.
- Can you see what I used to stamp the stripes?
On to my set that is carrying over: Tropical Chic.
- This is pretty much a "case" of a card I did earlier with this lovely set.
- I used the baby wipe technique for the two-toned leaves: Rococo Rose with Pretty Peacock.
- The border piece is stamping with these two colors on Rococo Rose card stock.
- I added a piece of Pretty Peacock that was die cut with one of the Delicate Lace dies.
- The pearls are from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.
And on to my 2019-2020 Catalog preview card: To a Wild Rose, featuring ALL of the new In Colors.
- This lovely set has three layers of stamping for the rose and for the leaflet. I've used it successfully with regular blocks and also with the Stamparatus. It is helpful to mark a petal on each flower layer so that it is easier to line it up. Do you see the somewhat pointy, angled petal approximately in the 7 o'clock position? I used a fine point Sharpie to make a little dot just outside that petal. That makes lining things up so much easier! The outline is 1st generation stamping, the darker petal color is 2nd generation stamping and the boldest rose stamp image was done with 3rd generation stamping.
- I used just two of the three leaflet stamps with Pretty Peacock ink and 1st and 2nd generation stamping for the leaves.
- The blended background is done with Seaside Spray, Purple Posy, Rococo Rose, and Terracotta Tile. I blend the refill colors with Whisper White Craft refill before applying them to the card stock with sponge daubers so the light colors are exceptionally light.
- I used a fine line stamp from Artisan Textures and the Purple Posy ink to add just a hint of texture to the background.
- I used Pearl Basic Jewels for just a touch of bling.
- This set and it's matching ides will be available on June 4.
