I'm back today with some more lovely samples to show you, featuring the "Frosted Florals" bundle. I got so caught up in the stamping at first I forgot about the framelits! I then tried to combine the two in several of these designs.
Without further adieu,
The above card features one of the prettiest papers from the Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper. It has such a rich color scheme and variation of shades of color. You can also see the style of stamping with this new set of stamps in the leafy images above. This is a new variation of rubber stamps that Stampin'Up! is perfecting and calling "Distinktive stamps". "Distinktive stamps create different opacities in a single stamped image for realistic depth and intensity.... " I love how the stamped image looks hand painted and shaded with a gentle blending of color.
This new style of stamp is even more evident in these rose and leaf images above. Believe it or not, that lush color variation is achieved by inking up a single stamp on a single ink pad. The carving of the stamp has created the dimensional effect without any additional techniques. I love it!
This card incorporates a lacy edge border, perfect to offset the pretty floral design paper.
Sometimes I like to play with a monochromatic effect, meaning limiting the color palette just a bit. Did you notice the use of the Tin Tile embossing folder in the background? That's a new favorite!
When I first saw this Mint Macaron Designer Series paper, I knew it needed to be featured all by itself. It's so gorgeous!
Finally, I stamped the same image in three different colors and adhered them to a subtle background for a simple yet effective style of card. Again, you can see the variation in color saturation through use of the Distinktive style of stamp.
I hope you'll give the Frosted Floral suite a look and add it to your collection of stuff. It's super fun to play with and easily adapts itself for many different uses, styles and looks. That's a lot of versatility in one bundle!
On the update side of things, the CLEARANCE RACK was recently updated and there are some spectacular bargains in there. Does your paper or ink collection need some refreshing? Everything in the Clearance Rack is retired and no longer available through the regular catalog, but for many of you, that doesn't matter. A bargain is a bargain, right?!! Take a look at the link provided below and see if there might be something you just have to have. You can set up a customer profile and start loading your shopping cart!
