Today’s card uses the sketch challenge at Try Stampin’ On Tuesday and a fabulous stamp set called Young at Heart.  I loved the recently retired You’ve Got Style and couldn’t resist this stamp set when I saw it.   So much fun for ladies who are of a certain age!  I attached Melon Mambo card to Whisper White card and then added Gorgeous Grape card.  I embossed the whole panel using the Tufted 3D Embossing Folder.  The embossed panel is attached to scored and folded Basic Black card.  I stamped the image from the Young at Heart stamp set onto Shimmery White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I coloured the image using the new Pigment Sprinkles.  These are similar to the Brusho crystals we had but packaged so much better and the colours match Stampin’ Up! colours.  To do the colouring, I sprinkled a little onto a Clear Block and used my Aqua Painter to add water and then coloured the image. I used the Melon Mambo, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay Pigment Sprinkles.  To colour the “skin” I just watered down the Melon Mambo until it was very pale.  I think it turned out great.  I attached the image panel to Basic Black card and then the card front using dimensionals.

To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting “Young at heart…just a little older in other places” which comes from the Young at Heart stamp set, onto Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I know I am going to love this stamp set and I will be back with more samples soon.  I am also in love with the new Pigment Sprinkles.  I love that they are packaged with a little clip lock, so you don’t have to make a hole and use the thumb tack to keep it closed.  The fact that they match Stampin’ Up! colours is also a real bonus.  Maybe we can look forward to more of these, (please).

Bye for now,

Kris
