Creating art with new colours



I am genuinely really excited by the new colour palette that makes up the 2016-2018 in-color collection. They sit somewhere between bright and pastel and will prove themselves to be so useful. I have been happily playing with them as a collection, but I am going to soon have to start integrating them with the spectrum of colour that makes up the Stampin' Up offering and see how they play with other colours.
However for today, I have taken a new stamp set, a new DSP paper stack, some new washi tape and the new new copper embossing powder and I have had a play.
The "swoosh" stamp, the dotty stamp and the sentiment all come from  the new "Painter's Palette" stamp set. It also contains a lovely easel stamp, which I haven't used today, but it co-ordinates with the new layering squares framelits. This enables you cut your frame out separately to give it dimension and to place all manner of "canvases" in your frame - even photographs. A useful tool for your Project Life pages.

I stamped the swoosh in each of the 5 new colours onto whisper white card and the spots I stamped in sweet sugarplum, having stamped off first on my  grid paper to give a subtler shade.
The new copper embossing powder is gorgeous and the colour is very on trend. This photo gives you more of a close up of the sentiment embossed in this new powder:


I have added a knot of the dapper denim ruched ribbon - I am going to be using these ribbons a lot I think.
A mat of the dapper denim card was attached behind the white card and this was layered onto the emerald envy spotty paper that comes from the "Playful Palette" DSP Stack. To add a little more bronze into the picture, I attached some little flashes of bronze spotty washi tape from the "Affectionately yours" collection.

This is quite a bold card, but good fun.
