hello gorgeous (grape)

I am loving all of the new colors Stampin’ Up! introduced this year! One that really surprised me is Gorgeous Grape. I normally don’t use a lot of purples, so Gorgeous Grape kind of snuck up on me. I tried it as just a pop of color on this card, and I love it! It is so vibrant and fun.

For this card, I trimmed a bit off the front of the card and put a full size Basic Gray panel behind. I stamped the Basic Gray panel with the Hardwood background stamp. I think it gives the feel of a floating shelf, which are very popular in home decor right now. Next, I stamped the vase outlines (and one solid vase) across the bottom, overlapping them a bit. I added the stem and leaf outline in Granny Apple Green, solid leaf in Lemon Lime Twist, solid flower in Highland Heather and the flower outline in Gorgeous Grape. I embossed the “hello” in White on a small strip of Gorgeous Grape card stock and popped it up on dimensionals. Final touch is a tiny rhinestone on the solid vase.

I love the simple pop of color on this card.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

July is off to a fantastic start! Stampin’ Up! has announced some great deals this month. I have shared more details about those on my Center Stage Stamping Facebook page.

With all the fantastic NEW colors available, this is a great way to get your hands on them and join the Stampin’ Up! family. I would love to have you join my Center Stage Stamping cast!

I am loving the fresh new palette of colors Stampin’ Up! has. There are nine BRAND NEW colors and six previous In Colors returning to the core color line up. Not to mention the five new 2018-20 In Colors! That’s a whole rainbow of color fun waiting for you.

Speaking of new colors, I usually do not use purples much, but I have had a lot of fun with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape.

The Highland Heather panel is embossed with the Simple Stripes embossing folder. I used Gorgeous Grape for the little vase, Daffodil Delight for the flowers with Mango Melody for the flower outline, Lemon Lime Twist for the leaves and Granny Apple Green for the leaf outline – all punched out with the coordinating Vase Builder punch and popped up with dimensionals. Sentiment is heat embossed in white on Basic Black card stock. A great card to brighten a friend’s day.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
