| Colour of the week is Bermuda Bay |
Hand Delivered was the first Hostess stamp set I added to my order last week. It wasn't initially a stand-out for me, so it just goes to show how seeing a few samples on Pinterest can change your mind.
I enjoyed getting it set up on the Stamparatus, and once everything was in place, I could stamp over and over. For both these samples, featuring Bermuda Bay, she wears a striped skirt. In others I've changed her skirt from stripe to floral, and instead of holding balloons and books, she holds a tiered cake.
I held back on putting my cards together until I'd received my order, so I could add the Brights Designer Series paper to the card. This year it comes in the very useable/storable 6" x 6" size, and on the balloon card are the 2 different sides of the one sheet of paper.
For the Graduate card, I've introduced a touch of red and green. The beauty of Bermuda Bay is that it seems to go with so many other colours.The skirt has been stamped to add colour, but the other colours are added using the Stampin' Blends. The first lot of colours are back in stock, and ready to be ordered, but we still impatiently (as of last Friday) wait for the lovely new shades to reach the warehouse.
To see other creations made using Bermuda Bay, go back to Cathy, where there is a full list of participants.

Fabulous colouring on the balloons. They look amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a beautiful colour Bermuda Bay and I do love this stamp set Rachel. You have made a nice set of cards. I need to get some of the brights DSP to go with my cards because I really like what you have done with it!
ReplyDeleteWow, these cards are totally awesome. Great job with the colouring Rachel.
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel your cards are beautiful and the one with the balloons shows all the lovely shades on Bermuda Bay. Thanks for hopping along in the blog hop today!
ReplyDeleteAww, these cards are so fabulous! I, too, was not initially taken with this set, but I think it may eventually find it's way into my collection.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I especially like the birthday card, and the silver border; goes beautifully with Bermuda Bay.
ReplyDeleteLovely fun cards, Rachel. The different shades of Bermuda Bay look great.
ReplyDeleteLove your graduate card, bu the way you've coloured those balloons is phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteRachel, both your cards are simply gorgeous. It's hard to pick a favourite, but if asked, I'd say the balloon one. Love them both.
