Only one week for this challenge, so if you are keen to play with these colours - be sure to join the crew before next Sunday evening - just use the link over on the right and these colours:
Early Espresso, Bumblebee (huh? yes, a new in-colour but you can substitute another yellow), Mint Macaron, Old Olive, Terracotta Tile, Whisper White & Gold
I've decided to use the main images from Beautiful Moments to make a set of cards which I hope to send out when we are able to move from Level 4 lockdown - (sorry, I couldn't justify my mailing as 'essential' at this time). A set of cards used two sheets of thick A4 and a sheet of Early Espresso for the backing mats.
I've cut the card width ways so when scored in half it opens top to bottom not side to side. I added one of the greetings from Beautiful Moments. To make it easier I used the Stamparatus - brilliant when doing more than one and/or with a fine font like this. My fourth piece of card was cut into three and stamped with Early Espresso ink and each of the images. I used the thick Whisper White cardstock so that it didn't react as much to being wet as my colouring was done with an aqua painter. After finishing I trimmed and matted each image then adhered to the base using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Beautiful Moments is the stamp set designed by Jacque Williams for achieving $1million in sales, it was inspired by her family and her view of Rangitoto Island. Fabulous set and I hope this gives my customers who have purchased it some more ideas. Time now to drool over Rachel's gorgeous set of cards:
