Simple Subtles-Wednesday WOW

 I love this color combination.  The background color is one of the brand new colors called Soft Sea Foam.  I love this pale green color.  Although I am usually not a pink person, I do  like the Blushing Bride pink color with the background.

The stamp set called Healing Hugs is one of the new stamps called a Distinctive stamp.  The stamp is cut so that when it is stamped it looks like you have used several different colors to stamp it.  You might wonder how I got the color variation I got for the flower.

1. First, I inked the flower in Petal Pink ink.

2. Next, with a dauber I sponged some of the Blushing Bride ink into the petal of the flower.

3. Finally, I took another dauber and put some Calypso Coral ink on the edges of the petals.

4. The final step is to stamp everything on the card stock of your choice.

This background is created using the new Tufted embossing folder.  I love the look. The final result of putting everything together is one of my favorite cards this week.

Wow, this is such a hot week here in Illinois.  Perfect time to stay inside and get my stamping room in order.  One of these weeks I will share pictures and a video on how I organize my space.

Tomorrow, 3-D Thursday, I will share a bag I made using the Gift Bag Punch Board.  I have had it tucked away in a drawer and have not used it in quite a long time.  When I made the bag for my blog I realize I need to use it more often.

Till Then,
Happy Stamping,
Sushi

Brilliant Brights-Blues

Have you seen all the new colors and how they work into each color family?  I thought I would feature some cards that showcase each one of the colors in the Brights Collection this week.  In fact I created a class featuring this weeks cards.  Check it out here.

Today's colors

Gorgeous Grape

Today's stamp set
Healing Hugs
  This is a new distinctive stamp from the 2018-2019 annual catalog.

To make today's card I followed these steps.....

1. First, I used an acrylic block and markers to scribble the 4 colors featured today on the block.

2. Next I spritzed the block to allow the colors to spread and blend a little.

3. I placed a piece of card stock over the block and pressed.

4. When this was dry I stamped my images on top.

As a final touch I added some pearls.  I thought they could look like drops of dew.  

Tomorrow, I will share a card made with the red and pinks from the Brights family, and feature the Love You to Pieces stamp set.

I hope everyone is staying cool and finding some time to stamp.  I am in Ohio attending the annual Davis Family Reunion.  We are at my brother's house where there is a pool.  So, no matter how hot it is outside, I know we can cool off.

Till tomorrow,

Stamp a card,

Sushi
