Pocket Silhouettes In Living Color

Stampin up pocket silhouettes note of thanks

Simple images can make a big statement when combined with the strength of color.  Look at this list of colors you would never expect to hang out together:  Tempting Turquoise, Ruby Red, So Saffron, Green Galore.  Even Groovy Guava (retired) sneaks into the picture.

For my Honey Bunny
My inspiration came from this image from the SCS Inspiration Challenge (IC158)  TIP:  All Daily Splitcoast Challenges are listed (and linked) on my left side bar for your convenience.  I'm confident I would never have attempted these colors together without having seen the inspiration first. 

The stem from Stampin' Up!'s Pocket Silhouettes was stamped four times on my assortment of colors with Chocolate Chip ink.  Each square (2 x 1.5) was sponged (Chocolate Chip ink) and layered on a piece of Chocolate Chip card stock.  TIP:  I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig for placing the image in the perfect spot.  Ditto the sentiment.

I certainly don't hide the fact that I love working with Stampin' Up!'s Taffeta Ribbon and used Chocolate Chip here.  The Stay-Put Bow (click here for tutorial) is my method of choice for tying a neat bow.  TIP:  My Crop-A-Dile (which I typically use for hole punches) didn't reach the center where I wanted to pop out a hole to run the ribbon through.  Alternatively, the 3/16" Anywhere Hole Punch from Stampin' Up!'s Crafter's Tool Kit was the answer.  Like it proclaims, it can go anywhere.

Just when I thought I had recovered from the loss of last year's In Colors, Groovy Guava begged to join in the excitement.  It was sponged with Chocolate Chip.  A touch of Tempting Turquoise was jollied up with a Scallop Edge Punch and all were layered on a 5.5 x 4.25 card base of Chocolate Chip.

The sentiment is from Thank You Kindly, inked in Chocolate Chip and cozied up to three Green Galore Brads. TIP:  To align your brads like soldiers at attention, use a Paper Piercing template and Paper Piercer.  No chance of them going AWOL.

  3. Hi Mary, I have much to say, but first I wanted to tell you how much I love the card on this post. The colors are just so vibrant and well put together. I have been visiting many of your past post, and I can honestly say there is not a card or project on your blog that I dislike. I love them ALL. You are now one of my top favorite blogs that I plan to stalk daily LOL!!! I also want to tell you that I ran across a couple of your post that inspired me to be creative this last few days. I wanted to invite you to visit my blog to see these creations that you inspired me to do. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, ideas, and creations with the rest of us “clueless souls” out there in the world. YOU ROCK!!!!

  5. Fabulous idea, Mary – I love that the colors would not be a usual combo, but they look so perfectly put together as only you are able to do!
