The Remarkable Ink Big Hop - Retiring In-Colors with Beautiful You


Hi there and welcome to the April 2017 Blog Hop! This month, we are featuring the retiring In-colors that will be going away at the end of May. You may just be getting started here on my blog, Stampin' n Scrappin' from the Heart, or you may have arrived from the hopper previous to me in the list. If you get lost at any time, the line up is below, just follow the links from blog to blog to see all of the wonderful projects from our talented demonstrator friends.
My card today is featuring my most beloved In-Color from the collection, Mint Macaron. I actually love all of the colors in the 2015-2017 In-Colors, but this one just makes me smile and draws me in unlike any of the other colors. It's hard to explain, but I just LOVE this color. Today, I mixed it up with the awesome stamp set Beautiful You found in the 2017 Occasions Catalog and went for a bit of a monochromatic effect.
I used the 2015-2017 In-Color DSP paper stack to do some paper piecing for her dress and hat, and tacked them down with a little Fast Fuse and using the reverse of the same sheet of DSP, For her skin, I colored her with the Pink Pirouette Stampin' Write marker and added a bit of Sahara Sand by just dabbing the marker. 
 I added a strip to the card base as an accent. I really hope you enjoyed this card. Please leave a comment below. I would like to thank you for taking part in our hop, there are so many amazing and inspiring projects to see that you will not want to miss out on, so remember, you are currently at my blog, www.snsfromtheheart.blogspot.com, so check out the list below to see who's next in the line up and be sure to go there next.

The New Beautiful You

Happy Thursday and thanks for stopping by. Today I have a great new card using the brand new Beautiful You stamp set from the Spring Occasions Catalog. I paired this set up with the Serene Scenery DSP stack and I just love how it turned out. It looks as though they were made for one another. Of course, I just love this DSP stack. Every design and pattern is just gorgeous.
Again, this card was very simple to put together with just a few supplies and I have to say, I am extremely happy with it.
Card base is Crumb Cake cut 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Serene Scenery DSP cut 5 1/4" x 4" and adhered to the card base with snail adhesive
The sentiment is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink directly onto the DSP
Scalloped Oval is cut from a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock using the largest oval in the Layering Ovals Framelits collection. The image is then stamped onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored using the new watercolor pencils and blended out using the Aqua painter. I then cut it out using the largest oval from the Stitched Shapes collection and layered it with the scalloped oval and adhered them down with Snail adhesive. This kept the layers from being too thick so it shouldn't require additional postage when it gets mailed out.

So, what are your thoughts? I would love to hear what you think of this card and this new stamp set, so please leave your comments below and again, thanks for stopping by.
Happy Stamping,
Katrina
