Pretty Kitty meets Playful Palette

Do you like to play around with color? I love making similar cards and changing the colors to compare the differences. That's exactly what I did with this Pretty Kitty meets Playful Palette Card*. It is a remake of the Pretty Kitty meets Gorgeous Grunge card I posted yesterday. I added an additional strip of patterned paper and twine to this card to show how small changes can make a difference. The background stamping on this card was done using the Timeless Textures stamp set. The splatters in this stamp set are small and it was turned and repeated several times, using the stamp off technique occasionally to give the ink a lighter shade. So, which one do you like better, Playful Palette or Gorgeous Grunge?

Floral Sending a Smile Card

My neighbor and I got together this afternoon for a little crafting time at her house. Typically I don't like to pack my supplies but every once in awhile I give in. So, I printed the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches and brought only what I needed to complete this Floral Sending a Smile Card. I wanted to use some of my new supplies from the upcoming 2016-2017 Stampin' Up! catalog. Used on this card is the new Playful Palette patterned paper and Love & Affection stamp set both are sneak peeks at new product. For a sneak peek at all the new in colors, which I love, click here to see a card I made. When all was said and done we had a nice time visiting and I made something pretty too. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!
