For those who are new to the Stamp Review Crew, here is a little background. We are an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that gets together on the first and third Mondays of every month to do a blog hop. Each hop features a single stamp set to give you loads of inspiration for that set! The hops are archived at the Stamp Review Crew blog, and you will be able to click through each hop at any time, going directly to the posts for that hop whenever you want! And you can click on the banner of this post to go to the master blog roll for this hop also.
If you are following along in order, you just arrived from Ann Schach's blog. I am certain that she has come up with a gorgeous card to share with us!
So, I have been playing with color blends again, and this was such a bright and cheery combo that I had to use it on a birthday card.
The color combo is Flirty Flamingo, Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist, and Tranquil Tide. With Copper heat embossing, and White Shimmer embossing paste.
When it was done, I thought "Holy crap! I just made a watermelon card. In January...."
Isabelle, one of my new grandchildren, must be wearing off on me. She loves watermelon, and asks for it every time she comes to the house. Even though she knows there isn't any. 😁
The inside is Copper heat embossed too. I love that the Thick Whisper White cardstock can handle that! I think senitments look amazing heat embossed.
That is all I have for you this time, I waited too long to play. And I made this while my grandson was playing next to me with Legos. "Gramma, look at this!" Music to my ears, but tough to get a lot done.
And now, Charlet Mallett! I can't wait to see what creatively genius way she uses this set.

Love all the sparkle and shimmer you've got going on here, Tanya! It's beautiful and a little watermelon in January never hurt a thing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous background and your colors are spectacular! Now to remember that in July when you need a watermelon card...
ReplyDeleteWowee! I love this card with all the bright colors and textures. Makes me want to touch and feel and feast with my eyes. It's fabulous! Makes me want to get the embossing paste out to play.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with watermelon in January??? It reminds you that warmer (much warmer) days are coming. And you can never go wrong with bright and happy colors on a birthday card. Combining those colors with Copper embossing just takes it to the next level. I'm surprised that your grandson didn't help you use the Legos for your embossing mask...
ReplyDeleteLove the colour mix - it looks fantastic as the feature of your beautiful card. Kelly x
