TROPICAL OASIS

Yesterday and today, we have experienced our very own tropical weather with temperatures in the mid-30s and high humidity.

It’s just as well that I can turn on the air conditioning and create in my own cool oasis … using the TROPICAL OASIS SUITE, of course.

ALOHA!

Using the Stampin’ Blends to colour the hibiscus was very therapeutic … building the intensity of the colours was a revelation.

The COASTAL WEAVE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER is sooooo amazing … I love the texture it gives.

The suite coordinates with 10 colours … that is incredibly versatile. I can’t wait to keep creating projects with the suite.

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping!

POSITIVE THOUGHTS

The POSITIVE THOUGHTS STAMP SET wasn’t in my first order … or my second. Don’t get me wrong – I liked it from the beginning, especially the fern image.

When I saw the NATURE’S THOUGHTS DIES in the Coordination Product Release … it made the very next order.

While it is definitely still Summer in Queensland. I looked to an Autumn palette for this card … mossy meadow, cajun craze, pumpkin pie and crushed curry.

I used the Stampin’ Write® Markers to colour directly onto the stamp … lighter colours first. I haven’t used this technique in ages.

I’m really happy with the end result … lots of layers, background stamping off, linen thread and a few rogue sequins.

I think the sentiment lends itself to different situations.

Thanks for stopping by … and happy stamping.

MEERKATS … SO CUTE!

The last time I saw meerkats was at the Berlin zoo … just a few days before attending the Stampin’ Up! ® On Stage Live in Dortmund last November.

There were only a few out of their burrows, keeping watch, because it was so cold.

Then at On Stage, when we received the new catalogue and Sale-a-bration brochure, there they were … a fun cling stamp set with happy little meerkats … THE GANG’S ALL MEER. I knew then that this was on the list to earn.

I teamed them up with the UNDER MY UMBRELLA STAMP SET and coordinating UMBRELLA BUILDER PUNCH … and … the PLEASED AS PUNCH DSP from the Coordination Product Release.

SO CUTE!

This card was so much fun to make … and super easy!

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping!
