I have another Painted Poppies card to share with you today. Once you start using this stamp set, it's hard to stop - it's so pretty!
For the poppies on this card, I stamped the outline in Memento Black. Then I used the solid background stamp to "color" it, and the larger splatter stamp to add some texture. The poppies really stand out against the black and white, don't you think?
Stamps: Painted Poppies, Peaceful Moments
Ink: Memento Black, Poppy Parade
Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, Poppy Parade
Embellishments: Peaceful Poppies Sequins, White Baker's Twine
Tools: Versamark, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Stitched Nested Dies
Adhesives: SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots
Happy Stamping!

The Come to Gather DSP is so pretty for fall, and it was the starting point for this card. My color combination was a blend of Merry Merlot, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, and Very Vanilla. I don't use Very Vanilla often, but it was the perfect fit this time!
I also pulled out the Colorful Seasons stamp set. This one has been around for a few years, but it has the prettiest fall leaves, especially in the coordinating dies! For this project, I simply stamped the leaf outline. I thought it coordinated with the DSP, and knowing Stampin' Up!, that was probably intentional!
This paper has so many pretty patterns. Come back on Thursday to see another card featuring this paper!

Yesterday on Facebook, I shared these backgrounds I made with Pigment Sprinkles. I promised that I would share projects using them soon, so here is the first one!
I used another sketch challenge to get started, this time over at TGIF Challenges.
And of course I had to start with the Gorgeous Grape piece - purple is my favorite! There's also a Holiday Catalog sneak peek on this project. Can you spot it?
If you guessed those Coastal Cabana rhinestones, you're right! There is a new set of colored rhinestones, and I LOVE them! I cut a piece of my Gorgeous Grape background out with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies, and the stamps come from the Free as a Bird stamp set. Buy the dies and stamps together in a bundle at a 10% discount! Even if birds aren't your thing, the sentiments and flowers in this stamp set are pretty.
I think my favorite thing about this card is the color combination - Gorgeous Grape, Whisper White, Pool Party, and Purple Posy. I hope it inspires you to create something of your own!
