Expressions in Ink - Calm, Serene and Beautiful!

 Hi Stampin' Friends!

I thought I would hop on my blog and share a card we made at my card class today! We used the fabulous new bundle, "Expressions in Ink" which is featured on the cover of the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog as well as pages 96-97 inside. Most of the samples coordinate with the accompanying Designer Series Paper so I wanted to try something with a different color scheme and see what happened. Ta da.....

Isn't that one of the most peaceful and tranquil color schemes ever?  For the serious SU stampers, you'll want to know I used Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Pretty Peacock (retired) inks to stamp a gorgeous background on Shimmery White card stock.  This fun bundle also includes several dies and I used the leafy sprig, cut from Shimmery White card stock to feature on this background.  The great thing about using several different shades of any color, in this case blue/green, is you can search your ribbon stash for either current or retired ribbon in these shades for some ribbon accent. I wanted to use the "Best Wishes" sentiment for this card to give me the option of using it for a wedding, anniversary or birthday.  I often create the outside of a card and leave the inside blank until I decide what I'm using the card for.  

I jumped on Facebook Live to demonstrate my stamping and share some info on where I purchase the magnet sheets I use to hold my dies in their envelope in a bit of an order. 

Here's a closeup of the bundle itself!

I hope you enjoyed seeing some alternate options with this gorgeous stamp set and fun coordinating dies. I'll be reaching for this bundle again and be back with more ideas soon!

Thanks for stopping by and happy stampin'!
