Celebrate! STS#25 SUO#102

I love having a session colouring with the new Blendabilities, and I prefer it to be in daylight hours when I can see more clearly, especially using this stamp set. In This Together has a lot of very small parts to colour - think: lips,arms, shoes etc. I haven't ever used Copics, but in the past I have loved using Stampin' Write Markers with Blender Pens and Aqua Painters.(and still do). Blendabilities are quite different, and practice certainly improves results.

What a clean design this sketch by Seize The Sketch and Mona Pendleton is. I have my mother's Creative Memories curvy cutter and because I am a Stampin' Up demonstrator, I don't use it very often. This time I used the subtle curve and it hardly shows on this photograph, but it looks great IRL. I had been cutting gold sparkly stars on the Big Shot already, and two made their way onto this card, surrounding a Celebrate from Starburst Sayings. The lovely lass with the glass of champagne has been cut with Apothecary Accents Framelits. SUO Challenges challenged us to use our favourite new toys, and I think Blendabilities are 'it' for me! go take a look at the DT samples.

Cheers!

Dynamic Duos had a Basic Gray and  'you choose one other colour. Of course you are allowed the neutrals too. I had a piece of Naturals White which I had already embossed with the Mosaic Embossing Folder. I'm loving that folder, both sides of the embossed piece are really lovely. I used the NEW Smoky Slate for the card base and a piece of Two-Tone Gray ribbon and some Crochet Trim, tied in under the Lovely Label which has been popped up on Silver Glimmer Paper with Stampin'  Dimensionals. I used an Apothecary Accents Framelit to cut the Silver Glimmer label, and a retired punch for the red heart, while the tiny Silver Glimmer heart is punched with our trusty Owl Builder Punch, so useful for so many things {wink}.


My inspiration came from this little dangly medallion, which was floating around my craft space, homeless. I know it was Stampin' Up! but who knows how long ago it retired. At least it now has a new home!




Have a great day!
