I'm excited to share a sneak peek with you tonight but first I want to let you know that Stampin' Up! will be refreshing the Clearance Rack on Tuesday, April 13th. Check it out here!
Beauty of the Earth is a gorgeous new suite in the upcoming Annual 2021-22 Catalog. While there is some truly amazing watercolor style designer series paper that is part of the suite, I ordered just the bundle of stamps and dies thinking I would force myself to explore the bundle's possibilities in even more colors. For instance...
...the new In Colors:
Pale Papaya, Pink Polish and Fresh Freesia make a amazing sunset don't you think? I did these with our blending brushes.
- At first I used just one tree die, layering a Soft Succulent die cut over another cut out of Evening Evergreen as sort of a shadow.
- I was using the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss so I had to trim my 1/4 sheets down to die cut the trees. I hand trimmed curves into the portion left over from the trees and used this for my "ground".
- "friendships refresh the soul" is a wonderful sentiment. Once I decided to use this I decided my tree really needed some "friends" in the form of birds. I cut them from Pale Papaya and added some shading on the bird's breasts with the Pale Papaya and Pink Polish Blends. This year we have Blends Combos for all of the new In-Colors!
These new colors and the suite will be available on May 4th!
This is my first card with this set but Beauty of Friendship already has it's own gallery. You can find it here.
