The new In Colors are absolutely stunning - rich bold colors with equally delicious names - Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango, Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede - hearing those names makes me want to dance the night away at a tropical location and dining on exotic food - lol.
What makes them super special this year is that there are co-ordinating markers! How I've always wanted matching markers to handle those stamps that inking up with markers would make it more outstanding and now we have them!
There are always co-ordinating designer series paper and this year the patterns are equally as exciting as this year just completed. One of the new ones is Razzleberry Lemonade and I got a chance to make this card using it.
The card base is Melon Mambo - rich red/fuschia color similar to watermelon. I paired it with So Saffron cutting both edges with the Scallop Edge punch and layered a piece from the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP on top of it. On a new set called Razzle Dazzle, I coloured in the flowers with my Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry markers. Using the Wide Oval punch, I punched out the top part of the flowers and placed it onto two Crushed Curry Wide Oval punched pieces. The sentiment is from the same set stamped in Melon Mambo and punched out with the Word Window punch. These were adhered to the card using dimensionals. The card is finshed with So Saffron 5/8" grosgrain ribbon from SAB.
The next card uses the Upsy Daisy set with Crushed Curry and Razzleberry Lemonade DSP again.
Are you wondering how I got that "funny" shape on which the daisies are stamped? I ran the Whisper White card stock on the Big Shot using the Top Note die. I then rotated the top note die cut piece just a bit to the right of the point on the die and ran it through the Big Shot again and out came this shape. You can see more more from Mary Jo Price-Williams here on creating fun shapes using the top note die.
I inked up the daisies with Crushed Curry and then using the Dustry Durango marker ran it over the top edges of the flowers making it appear like the "rock and roll" technique. The sentiment is stamped in Dustry Durango and the edges of the die are sponged with the same color. The shape is placed over layered pieces of the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP.
