Perfectly Paired

A friend of mine has just had a baby which gave me an excuse to get out Perfectly Paired. It’s an adorable set as you can see.

I decided to use the blends because I have a lot of colours and spent a happy hour coloring in a couple of the images. Although a baby usually means pastel monochromatic cards, I wanted to go with vibrant colours. This meant stamping in memento ink and since the stamp is quite large, I decided to mount it on my stamparatus to ensure that I got a good image – it’s a good thing I did, the crocs were a bit shy and had to be inked up again.

Here are the blends that I used, both light and dark unless otherwise stated ($9 for the combo packs mentioned below):

Pool Party (144605)

old olive (144597)

lovely lipstick (147281)

soft suede (147273)

smoky slate (145058)

dark mango melody (147944; $4.50)

ivory (144606; $4.50)

and the stamp set is Perfectly Paired (148712; $18)

I matted in black and placed that on a lovely lipstick card base. Then I decided it needed some sparkly so I added some wink of Stella to the water.

Sale-a-bration is always a marvelous time – for every $50 you spend on product, you can choose a special free Sale-a-bration item – this is in addition to your stamping’ rewards (assuming your order or party is at least $150). There are also some bigger ones available with a $100 purchase. It ends at the end of the month, so take a look soon. If you spend $150 with me by the end of Sale-a-bration you are invited – or you get a package sent – to my Sale-a-bration celebration.

It’s also a great time to join: you get $175 of product of your choice for just $99 and the shipping is free. Email or call me if you have question.
