Finally, my Sneak Peak Order arrived yesterday at 3pm ish. I had stamp club last night, so this morning was the first chance I got to play with it. I could not sleep last night knowing there was untouched rubber and ink in my house! I had so many ideas in my head I did not know where to start. So, as I was eating my breakfast I checked my Google Reader and found Kristina Werner's Color Challenge #15. That gave me a great starting point. Here you can see the inspiration piece:
And here is my card: I made one change to the inspiration colors. I changed the Really Rust to the new In Color - Tangarine Tango. I love that name, it reminds me of that song "Mr. Tangarine Speedo". I also used one of my new stamp sets, from my Sneak Peek order, Wow Flowers. It is so fun, kinda retro! The flower fits perfectly in the 1" circle punch. I added a polka dot border with my White Gel pen to match the border on the bedding. And, the satin ribbon, is like the satin sheets that may be under that fun comforter set! Okay, I totally need go mount my Sock Monkey set and stamp something with him!!! It wont take me long, because did I tell you, ALL NEW STAMP SET ARE DIE CUT! I feel like I got upgraded to 1st class! Stampin' Up! Rocks! So look for my upcoming SOCK MONEY creation! Happy Stampin' Carrie
Awesome use of the challenge colors! LOVE it!
