Stampin' Up gingham wheel in Real Red on Whisper White (preview), cherry from Create a Cupcake, All Dressed Up framelits die with white doily and stitched ribbon with retired Sweet Shop paper. Card base is the new Coastal Cabana.

Hello

All new SU colors: Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Coastal Cabana and a portion of the Wildflower Meadow background stamp for the floral image. New Washi tape made into banners for part of layout (Mojo Monday #291). Mosaic embossing folder is also a new addition, sentiment is not.

Black Magic Meadow

I love the black magic technique with this stamp!! I stamped it in craft white and then colored it in with colored pencils. Great for a one layer card. The other one I left in just the black and white and added some white half pearls. Hope you are not getting too tired of me using this set :) I only got this one and the Simply Sketched in the preview. Just wanted that new catalog SO bad.

Soft Sky Meadow

Soft Sky is a retired color that is coming back to replace the Bashful Blue. I still have the original cardstock and inks since I loved this color so much. I inked the new Wildflower Meadow stamp in craft white and then stamped the Birthday Wishes sentiment (Bring on the Cake) in Soft Suede. While white ink was still wet, I added white embossing powder to image, brushing it off over the sentiment with a small paint brush before heat embossing. Added panel to a Whisper White and Soft Sky base, also used Framed Tulips embossing folder.

Tip for this large stamp: if you don't have a large acrylic block, it will stick to the back of a wood block background stamp that has the clear label on it really well. I left the clear identifying label off of this new Wildflower Meadow stamp so it will adhere much better to an already labeled block.

Embossed Meadow

New Wildflower Meadow embossing folder, it could have been a little more centered but it's not too bad. I used the new color of Pistachio Pudding which is a pretty muted pale green and a great replacement for the Certainly Celery. Wildflower Meadow background stamp was colored in markers and highlighted with white gel pen dots. Sentiment is from the new set Simply Sketched.

Simply Sketched

The cardstock and ink on the new Simply Sketched bird image (new hostess set in the upcoming catalog) is called Baked Brown Sugar. This is similar to Soft Suede in my opinion, a lighter version of it. I think I like the name of it more than the actual color though... If it had a bit more cinnamon in it I think it would be perfect.

Soft Suede, Baked Brown Sugar, Espresso, and Vanilla cardstocks. Embossing folder frame (retired), lattice squares, and new Very Vintage designer buttons.

Wildflower Meadow

New Stampin' Up preview of an upcoming catalog selection called Wildflower Meadow. This is a full size background stamp and there is also a coordinating embossing folder that is sold separately. I colored this in various SU markers on Whisper White cardstock.
