Stampin' Up! Color Coach #2 - Birthday Card

Dear Stampin' friends

Well I'm up to #2 on my Color Coach blogging journey.....here's my second card using the Color Coach suggestion for Crushed Curry. This card uses Crushed Curry with Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo which I think makes a perfect birthday card! 

I decided that maybe the Crushed Curry was a little bit TOO represented on the previous card, so I toned it back a little bit and used the sketch from the Mojo Monday Challenge No. 296.

Here's the sketch:

I really wanted to add that third circle but I really couldn't make it 'work'.....I hope it's acceptable.

I've also used another couple of new stamp sets on this card. Aren't they cool!? :)

If you are itching to place an order, you can pop over to my online store - just choose me as your demonstrator, and away you go! :)

Cheers

Stampin' Up! Color Coach #1......plus sneak peeks...

Hello Stampin' friends!

So....here's the first post of my epic blog-a-thon....

I was going to do the posts in order of the colours of the Color Coach, but there are some fab NEW colours coming our way so I thought I would showcase those first....because I just can't help myself...

Introducing......

CRUSHED CURRY!

 

This card features Crushed Curry with Island Indigo and Real Red.....they are three strong colours which make for a bold colour mash!

I teamed it with a new stamp set and accessory that we received at Stampin' Up! Convention last month....but I can't tell you what they are called....you will have to wait until 2 July....[unless of course you are reading this from the US and Canada and then you probably KNOW what these are...so there's no surprises on this card for you! ;) ]       

Hope you like my first card for this challenge!Cheers
