Hi again,

I have to be super quick because I have my wonderful team coming over tonight to stamp and catch up again for the month. But I really wanted to get this posted before the cut off.

Kristina’s colours this time were different, but quite good to work with…..well I am happy with what I managed to come up with.

Here is the color inpiration piece:

 And here is what I came up with:

Remember these cute slip cards we made at the Stamp a thon? I thought I could work with that template again. I have used Pumpkin pie for the base, then layered with Ruby red. I have then added a strip of DS paper from Stampin’Up’s Spring Break paper pack. Along the bottom I have place a slit punch, and then paper pierced a border all the way around. Next I took a piece of Whisper white cardstock, and spiral punched the side and added a round tab punch of Ruby red cardstock at the top adhering it with a staple. I made a belly band for the centre using Ruby red cardstock, pumpkin pie DS paper from Stampin’Up’s Spring break pack, and I then added a small strip in the centre, with a little strip of Black gingham ribbon in the centre, to match the inspiration image. Lastly I stamped the image which I have coloured up using my markers to get the two different colours, and i placed a pumpkin rhinestone brad in the center. I have also added a row of Ruby red brads along the bottom.

Then I thought “Hey these would make great colours for a masculine card!” …..so just had to try that as well.

Here is my card:

Isn’t he the cutest little fish!!! I just have to give you a close up!

For this card I have used Sage shadow for the base which is stamped ramdomly with the circular stamp from the Priceless stamp set with Sage ink. I made the strip with Ruby red cardstock, and layered it with spotty Pumpki pie paper from the DS paper prints pack, adding some twine at the bottom.

I have then stamped my fish from Stampin’Up’s Fishy friends stamp set with Stazon ink onto Watercolour paper. I have coloured him in with my aquapainter, and stamp pads. I made the circular greetings with my punches, and the Think Happy thoughts stamp set. And lastly I added a spiral punch to the bottom right hand side.

Oh better fly that was a knock at the door!
