Now that everyone has settled in with their lovely new SU cattys-in-hand, let’s get back into some new stampin’ fun!
The Creative Crew was challenged with: CCREW0614DF DSP/Color Focus: Show us your favorite color. Try it in a color combo you haven’t used before!
Color challenges can be lots of fun … especially when you have to ‘stretch’ a little to make your natural choices blend in with the guidelines! If you haven’t given one a try, then this one would be a perfect start!
I’ve always been a pinks, purply & some greens kinda girl. So when I first heard just the ‘name’ of the new In Color, ‘Blackberry Bliss’ ….. I already knew that it was for me. A done deal for sure. Then I saw it IRL (in real life) and practically squealed out loud!
Oh yes … back to the challenge:
Yep! My starting point was with a brand new awesome sheet of Blackberry Bliss C/S in hand. Then I browsed through my hanging files of all other SU cardstocks, picking one up & putting it back, until it was right in front of me …. Soft Sky! I loved it at first sight.

My large scalloped border die was still on my table, and I wondered if I could work that into the card … and it wasn’t long before I could see it all in my mind and simply had to finish it up! One bitty rhinestone dots the ‘i’ in ‘friend’ for a bit of glam to add to the wonderful sheen & subtle sparkle of the Shimmery White cardstock.
