One of my favorite tools from the new Idea Book & Catalog is the Color Coach! Besides giving you an accurate swatch of each Stampin' Up! color, you also have dozens of different color combinations at your fingertips, listed on the backs of the cards.
Shelli Gardner's Creative Challenge this month was to use one of the color combinations from the Color Coach. I don't normally use pink and blue together, so I was up to the challenge given by the combination of Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze, and Early Espresso. I encourage you to play along! :)
Anyway, here's my card...
Yes, Artistic Etchings is definitely one of my favorite stamp sets! Here I have used it with a technique that involves using clear blocks to stamp. I believe the technique first originated from Sharon Field (at least, that's where I first read about it, on her blog).
Well, I have to run, but thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a fabulous day!
