This week, the talented Anne Marie is hosting our theme challenge.  She has selected Sunshine & Rainbows for us.  How fun is that!

I will be the first to admit that my collection of sunshine and rainbows stamps is nearly non-existent.  However, I do have the adorable Under My Umbrella stamp set. It’s always a fun one to ink up. What about you? I can’t wait to see what you create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Today’s card is so quick and easy, yet has a “cute factor” that will be sure to brighten up anyone’s day. The Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder, along with the Daffodil Delight ruched ribbon, provides such yummy texture.  A Stitched So Sweetly rectangle is the perfect backdrop for the Daffodil Delight gingham umbrella.

To coordinate with the leaves on the flowers, I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive.  A few Champagne Rhinestones add a touch of bling.

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

I LOVE creating with suites, and the new In Good Taste Suite is no different! With its photographic images and visual textures, the In Good Taste designer series paper collection can be used to create cards which range from masculine and industrial to flirty and feminine, as is the case with this card.  The floral image from the Tasteful Touches stamp set was colored using Petal Pink and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends, with a little Rococo Rose ink sponged over the top. The sparkly centers were created using Shimmery Crystal Effects to which more glitter was added.  The wooden leaves, from the In Good Taste elements, were given an upgrade by using a sponge dauber inked with Rococo Rose, which was then dipped in Frost White Shimmer Paint.  A trio of Champagne rhinestones add even more sparkle.

As you can see, the leaves were stamped directly onto the designer paper, a technique which I often forget to use.  A Petal Pink organdy bow is the final feminine touch.
