Garden Wishes

Garden Wishes retired last May. It's a stamp/die set that I really liked but didn't use as much as I thought I would when I purchased it. This summer I decided I needed to use it a few more times before I added it to my for sale pile of goodies. Here are the results of that play time.

I challenged myself with a color combination that was a struggle too. My colors are Cinnamon Cider, Blushing Bride and Bumblebee. I added some Pear Pizzazz  because I really felt the need for a green. The greeting is hard to read on this picture. It is stamped with Blushing Bride and the angle is a challenge but the greeting is really there!

Garden Wishes

I was given this stamp set a long time ago. I don't remember if it was a freebie from Stampin' Up! for attending some conference or if I won it from one of the stamping groups I am part of. I do know that it sat on my shelf for a very long time! I don't know why I never pulled from the shelf. Now it is retiring and I wanted this set to see a least a little ink so here we go!

I started with a simple technique of stamping the image with VersaMark ink and then covering the ink with pastel dust. It gives the image a hazy look but I really like how it turned out. 

Soft Succulent

Soft Succulent is such a pretty color. It's soft, just like it's name says, and calming. This post is all about this great new color. Each month I focus on one of the new in colors. I create 3 cards with the color and share one of them with the participants of my In Color Club. Soft Succulent is the color for July. Yes, I'm a bit tardy with this color.

Turtle Friends is too stinkin' cute! This adorable set has a coordinating punch that I feel in love with! I paired Soft Succulent with Evening Evergreen and Pale Papaya, two more of the new in colors. The turtles are two step stamping. The inner part of the shell is added after the turtle is stamped.

I paired Soft Succulent with Fresh Freesia, another new in color. I love these colors together and how this card turned out. Garden Wishes is the stamp set here. I stamped the dandelion with Soft Succulent and the used the blends for these two colors. I added the bee with Memento ink and colored with Daffodil Delight. I added some Wink of Stella to the bee's wings and the center of the dandelion. 

Campology was the final stamp set that made it to my table. Crumb Cake is the card base and then Misty Moonlight and Soft Succulent complete the color combination. Have you noticed the Tailor Made Tags dies? You might miss these dies as they don't have a coordinating stamp set. They are in the back of catalog all by their lonesome! I love the stitch markings on these dies.

If you would like to participate in my In Color Club, I would love to have you join! Each month you will get the cardstock, ink pad, marker, blends and ribbon for one of the new in colors for $43. You can then add on the refill, simmer vellum, jewels, designer series paper and ombre bags for $13.50. If you are local to me, I will deliver to you. Shipping would be extra if you are not local. Let me know! I will be happy to add you to the group!
