Asian Artistry Hostess Stamp Set

I have had some fun with my new goodies! Here is a card I made for a swap with my fellow rising stars! It sure was fun swapping with them. I used the marker technique for the panel pieces. Our new In Colors have MARKERS!! This is our first year with the markers and I for one am over the moon. I love to journal with my markers and if you know me at all you know I am what Oprah calls "matchy matchy pooh pooh". So being able to match my journal writing to my paper means I can't wait to get scrapbooking and Journal writing!

Sneak Peek: Asian Artistry

Here is a sneak peek at one of the NEW in Colors! and a Hostess set from the NEW catalog. Shhh!!! I wanted to use my new things and I just couldn't wait to share. They are like money in my pocket burning a huge hole! It is so exciting to have new colors and new stamps. I am cooking up some fun projects for this month and here is a sneak peek of just some of my new goodies. Did you get a load of the polka dotted ribbon?? Oooh la la!! It comes in every In Color this year.

The stamp set is Asian Atristry and I am using a fantastic sketch from Sweet Sunday . I used the colors Ruby Red, Soft Suede (NEW IN COLOR), Blush Blossom and Very Vanilla. I wondered what I would do with another brown. After using it I see that I am not going to be able to live without it! It is completely different from chocolate chip and close to cocoa. It seems like it has a green undertone. Reminds me of my Umber Crayola crayon I had as as a kid!
