MORE MUSTARD & EARLY ESPRESSO SPRING!

Ok, so those 2 colors aren't normally what you think of when you think spring, right? Well at my demonstrator meeting recently, I was given the task of assigning a challenge! I tend to need  a reason to go totally outside the box, so I gave myself one! 

The challenge was to use Early Espresso & More Mustard to create a Spring card!!!

So here it is!!!

I thought Spring=Sunshine!!! So I pulled out my 
Single Stamp You Are My Sushine!! I LOVE this stamp!!! That song goes back to fond memories for me so when they first offered it I jumped on that one!!!

So I attempted to create a "sun" with my Pennant Parade stamp set & Pennant Punch.  I really like the way this turned out! Kinda different! A little thematic!  The only other "color" in the card is Very Vanilla!  Its tricky to use only 2 colors-especially if they're on the darker side. 

I threw in a couple of little Boho Blossoms (Punch) for interest.
 The Glimmer Brad in the middle is a perfect match! Kinda hard to see, but there's Dazzling Details all over the place!! Yes, I am a "bling" kinda girl!

So just wanted to share!!! These single stamps were supposed to be done, but they've continued them through July!!! Don't miss out on yours!!!!! You can find them HERE!!!

Happy Stampin'!!

YELLOW COLORING DOWN THE LINES!!!

I'm so glad for the color choices this week-More Mustard and So Saffron! Very yellow!! Reminds me of the beautiful sunshine I just left in Hawaii! Had a wonderful time, but now I'm back & rearing to go!!!

Welcome on over from Helen's blog!!! Glad you're here!! Lovin' Helen's entry in the hop this week!!! It isn't easy to make something cool with these 2 colors!!! lol  I will say working with a 2-color restriction is a bit tough!!!! Good challenge tho!!

So here's this week's card:

I pulled out an old "friend" of a stamp set-Build a Blossoms!!! It's from the Big Book!  I love using this set with the coordinating Blossom Builder punch-also in the Big Catalog!  I really love how Stampin' Up! gives us so many coordinating products!!! 

Look how pretty close up!

I used an old button from the Subtles pack & some white Bakers Twine!  The So Saffron background was cut with the Floral Frames framelits! I used one of my Sale-a-Bration stamp sets, Vintage Verses, for the sentiment! Easy peasy!!! But I think it packs a punch!

So now take a hop over to Liz's blog!!! Liz has such nice style! I know you'll love her entry!!!

So until next week!

Happy Stampin'!!!!
