Seeing Some Subtles Celebrate Color

Today I will have you seeing some Subtles …. from the new Color Revamp. My design was inspired by the card on page 74 of the new annual catalog. I love the translucent look of the balloons, over-stamped using just the solid balloon images. I thought it would be a good way to show off some of the new Subtles colors.

I managed to use all four of the brand new Subtles colors, plus the returning Mint Macaron. I played around on scrap paper to see how I wanted to place both the balloons and the colors and settled on the arch shape with the greens seperated.

A New Color Combo for You to Try

Are you ready to try a new color combo? My guess is that you have a few go-to colors when you start a new stamping project. I know I do. But I also like to look for new color combinations and give them a try. One source I use, along with half of the population, is Pinterest. That’s where I saw this color combo of Calypso Coral, So Saffron and Mint Macaron. Since I like all three colors, it was game on!

The Cake Crazy stamp set seemed like a good place to start since it’s a fun set for multiple colors. Here’s the finished card:

Dragonfly Dreams Land on a Clear Block

My dragonfly has landed on a clear block. So to speak. I’ve been playing with the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle from the Occasions Catalog. For this card, the little guy ended up landing on a clear block stamped background. I did a Pinterest search for dragonfly to get some color ideas. One image that I saved was a print of three dragonflies, laid out one below the other, similar to a specimen frame. Not only did I like the coloring, I had my design inspiration as well. Yes!
