Oh So Eclectic


Oh So Eclectic is also on the retiring list. I haven't had this set for very long. I had seen so many great samples with it that I broke down and bought it. I didn't get the matching dies though. This card is pretty simple. The bow adds just a bit of texture.


I added Granny Apple Green to the next two cards to add some flair. I have been waiting for a limey green for years! I'm so happy that we have a color like this in our color families! I'm not sure you can see it but the back layer of whisper white is embossed with Layered Leaves. There is also Wink of Stella in the flower center. I punched the leaves from Granny Apple Green with Leaf.


These flowers were fussy cut but you could use the dies to make it easier and faster. I also used Marbled background stamp to add to the Cajun Craze layer at the bottom of the card. More Wink of Stella on the flower centers.


The oranges in these cards are Mango Melody and Cajun Craze. They compliment each other really well. I like the way they look together.

Happy Stampin'!

Inky Friends Blog Hop: Carnival of Colors: Gorgeous Grape


Here we are again, time for a blog hop! I love creating for these hops. It's so much fun!



This month we are focusing on the new colors! The color revamp has made the color families so fresh in my opinion! I am loving the changes. There are a couple of colors I will miss but I look forward to using the new colors

If you are hopping in order you would have found me from Paper Conversation by Mickey where she focused on Coastal Cabana. I'm so glad that color has returned! You may be hopping backwards and came from Heart's Delight Cards by Cindy where she took a look at Granny Apple Green. This is going to be a favorite of mine, I can tell already!

 Either way, I'm glad you are here to see what I made with Gorgeous Grape! Purple has been my favorite color for a very long time. I'm thrilled that we now have a true purple color! WAHOO!!

I paired Gorgeous Grape with Lovely Lipstick and Daffodil Delight on my first card. It makes for a bright color combo but a fun one none the less. It reminds me of my wedding. We had purple and raspberry for our wedding colors.   


In this card I used Gorgeous Grape with Pineapple Punch and Lemon Lime Twist. I got this stamp set in April at OnStage and wasn't sure what to do with it. I know I wouldn't have bought it on my own so I have struggled with how to use it. I am going to have to challenge myself to use it again. I did add some Wink of Stella to the dragonfly and the water. It's really pretty in person.

 

On my last card, I used Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Blushing Bride. It's hard to tell from the picture but the flowers have been water-colored with Blushing Bride, Highland Heather and Pear Pizzazz.


I couldn't leave you without a scrapbook page! This is a simple layout but it packs a lot of punch! I used Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green with Gorgeous Grape on this layout. I'll share a bit more about this layout and close ups of the 2 pages on Monday.


Well, it's time to send you off to see how my Inky Friends used some of the other new colors! I hope you enjoy the hop! Don't be afraid to leave us comments! I know I love to hear what you think of my projects!

Happy Stampin'!
