Sweet Moments

Thought I'd do a Mojo Monday challenge this week.  Here's the sketch:

And my interpretation:

The technique on the medallion is called Rock & Roll.   Start by inking your stamp with the lighter colour - in this case I used Crushed Curry.

Then carefully rock &/or roll your stamp on the ink pad with the darker colour, Baked Brown Sugar.  The effect is quite soft and you'll get the different colours showing up according to how much you rocked & rolled!   It's a fabulous technique for medallions and always looks good with circular stamps.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Set: Happy Day
Cardstock: Whisper White, Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana
Ink: Crushed Curry, Baked Brown Sugar & Coastal Cabana
Paper: Eastern Elegance DSP
1 1/4" square punch
Pretty Print Embossing folder, Delicate Designs Embossing folder & Big Shot
In Color Boutique Details.

Thanks for stopping by.

In Colours Showing Off!

Here's a card I made for my customers' goody bags when they attended the new catalogue launch.

It shows off our gorgeous new In Colours perfectly!
From left to right;  Pistachio Pudding, Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana.
The stamp set used is Happy Day......one of the Freebies I earned during Sale-a-Bration.  That's a cool benefit of a being a demonstrator, I can tell you!

The technique I used is called masking.  I love the way the stamps look like they are standing behind eachother.  The Modern Label punch was used to punch the sentiment and I've added a second punch in Strawberry Slush that I cut in half and stuck to the back to make it stand out more on the white base.  Rhinestones complete the design.

Pop back tomorrow for another In Colour feature.
