Color Challenge ~ #SSINKCC24

Well Hello Happy Stampers!!

I am SO SO SO glad you came by today to check out my card.  I had a LOT of fun playing along with SSInkspiration in their monthly color challenge.  If you want to play along...Click the color banner to enter your card/project!


These are such fun colors to use with my NEW stamp set!!  :)
Yes...you heard me.  NEW!

Hot off the presses and fresh from convention I am stoked to show you a preview of the "Acorny Thank You" stamp set.  :)  hee hee don't you just love the name?!

It's a super fun set, comes with a few choices for the acorn tops, bottoms, full ones, and greetings.  Oh...and the best part?!  Yup, bundled with a punch its SUPER easy to use!!

Sorry you have to wait until September 1st to order it.  Just add it to your wish list and stay with me here :)

Color challenge.

Cucumber Crush, Calypso Coral, and Elegant Eggplant
 add a little Very Vanilla and you've got yourself a party!


It is a photopolymer set, so lining up the acorn tops and bottoms is SUPER easy.  For the acorn on the left, I used the wood-grain bottom.  I inked the stamp in Cucumber Crush, then used my daubers to lightly tap the Eggplant and Coral directly onto the stamp, then when you use it, you get the funky mix of colors. The daubers give you a subtle color variance.  You could also use the stamp pad directly (use the corners for better control) but then you get a deeper concentration of color.   Its all in what you're looking for :)

Want to see more cards using this awesome color combo?  Now you're totally thinking about playing along with us in the color challenge aren't you!?  :)  Head HERE !
