SIP #110 Primary Colors with SU Colorful Seasons Bundle

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  If you're on this side of Monday, it's a good day!  I've been so busy at work lately I feel like I'm in survival mode.. every day the goal is to make it to the end of the day!   I'm sure it will be better soon but the world of Import when it comes to shipping Holiday goods is Crazy!  lol   So back to the matter at hand, it's Tuesday and that of course means it's time for another Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge!  This one is about Primary Colors: Red, Blue and Yellow!


So you'll have to hang with me on this one.  My hubby and I are planning a cruise at the end of October.  We tend to vacation in October or November every year because that is my slow time at work.  I have sandy beach and beautiful sunsets envisioned and that is really what keeps me going right now.  My upcoming cruise is what inspired this card using the SU Colorful Seasons Bundle.


I sponged the background onto a piece of 3 5/8" x 4 7/8" Neenah Classic Solar White 110# cardstock.  The water is Marina Mist and Pacific Point Ink, the sand is a touch of Sahara Sand, The sky is Sky Blue,  Marina Mist and Pacific Point.  The sun is Daffodil Delight.  I used full coverage post-it notes to mask off the various areas to sponge.  I cut the chairs out of SU Real Red and Daffodil Delight Cardstock.  I used my embossing buddy and then Heat Embossed the sentiment in White onto the bottom section of the cardfront.  After adhering the chairs onto the front with small dots of liquid glue, I adhered the panel onto a 3 3/4" x 5" Read Red piece of cardstock and then glued that onto an A2 Neenah Classic Solar White cardstock base.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

SIP Challenge #63 - Wonderful Wings with Serene Silhouettes

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  What a wonderful challenge we have over at Stamp, Ink, Paper this week!   It's all about Wonderful Wings!  I hope you head over and check out all of the awesome inspiration by the Design Team for this one!
 I decided to use a retired Stampin' Up! Stamp set called Serene Silhouettes!  I love every image in this set but I especially LOVE the silhouette of the birds!  


I used a super fun technique that I call Masked Sponged Background on this card.  I learned this from watching a video by Gina K on Stamp TV.  In case you've not done this super easy and beautiful technique click here to watch!  I have Gina K saved as a favorite on Youtube as well as a few other awesome card makers.  If you're not a follower of Stamp TV, you're missing some awesome stuff!  

I started with an 5 1/2 x 8 1/2" piece of Wisteria Wonder Cardstock, scored at 4 1/4".  My next layer was Basic Black that measured 5 x 3 3/4".  My top layer was Whisper White that measured 4 3/4" x 3 1/2".  I used Wisteria Wonder, Soft Sky and Wild Wasabi ink to sponge my background.  After tearing some scrap notebook paper and masking the top and bottom, I sponged the Wisteria Wonder on the top portion, next Soft Sky blending into the Wisteria Wonder and last Wild Wasabi at the bottom and blending up into the Soft Sky Ink.  I kept the masks in place to stamp the Bird Silhouette in Basic Black Archival Ink.  The sentiment is from an awesome Verve Stamp Set called "Words of Wisdom".  I love sentiments that inspire and this set has a lot of awesome sentiments that do just that!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by!  Below is a listing of the Stampin' Up! Products used.
