Hope you're having a great summer!
I have a new card to show you that I call, "Birthday Pool Party". The reason I called it that is I'm using a new Stampin Up paper I just got called pool party. It's one of the in-colors for 2010 & 2011. I really like this color...may need to get some more!
I'm submitting this for a Split Coast Stampers challenge F4A74 - using 2 of the same thing, which would be the big pearls. I don't know what I would do without adhesive pearls, I seem to put them on most everything. I barely did any stamping on this one. The sentiment was stamped with ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder. You can quite see it in the picture, but this technique comes out really pretty. This card was definitely more about the color than the coloring...unusual for me!
Speaking of coloring, last week I ordered a set of Tombow markers that I should have by Tuesday. I can't wait to color with them using a watercoloring technique I saw. I'm hoping to get more vibrant colors when I color. I can also use these to accent my pencils...I hope!
For this card, I used Well Scripted stamp set from Stampin Up. Papers are very vanilla, pool party and an old SU vellum paper. Ink is soft suede. For accessories, I used clear embossing powder, adhesive pearls, pearl string, pearl brad, Prismacolor pencils, mineral spirits, ribbons, flower, scalloped oval punch beautiful wings embosslits, square lattice EF (all SU), flourish die #9 (Sizzix).
That's it for now! Blessings!

You've made another very pretty card. I have not seen this color before...OH no, another thing to add to my already LONG SU wish list. It's such a pretty color.
