Impressions

I love the Springtime Impressions thinlits dies!  Did I mention how excited I am that Coastal Cabana is back?!!  I truly love this color.  I could live the rest of my life with only Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay for colors!  I paired the Coastal with Petal Pink.  This is a color I didn't think I would like, but I haven't stopped using it!  It's a pretty peachy pink that's very easy to blend in with other colors.  The sentiment is from Abstract Impressions.  Such a pretty and versatile stamp set!

I cut the die in Whisper White and then used Sponge Daubers and colored in with Soft Seafoam, Petal Pink, Coastal Cabana, and Poppy Parade.  I finished it off with Faceted Dots.  Just click on the graphics to shop.  Please leave me a comment to let me know your favorite new or returning color.

Purple, purple

I think Stampin' Up! has made a purple lover out of me.  I've never been a big fan of it, but the two new purples are so pretty and easy to work with!  The first is Highland Heather and the second Gorgeous Grape.  I decided to put Gorgeous Grape to work with the Abstract Impressions stamp set and some watercolor paper.  I used Granny Apple Green for the leaves.  I love this color, but I've always loved greens.  Aren't these new colors beautiful!  I've been using a lot of Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam too.

I stamped on watercolor paper and spritzed it enough for it to bleed a bit.  The sentiment piece was made from Stitched Labels framelits and I added a tiny piece of Highland Heather to make it stand out a little.  Let me know what you think!
