Wow! It's almost the end of July, when did we get here? I recently got my order of new product and catalogues this week. And I cannot wait to break out the new goodies and show you my work!

Today's card is one of my new fav colour combos. I really like chocolate! mm, chocolate. The centre Very Vanilla strip is up on dimensionals with a little twig of ribbon up in the top right corner. Did you miss it? It is kinda hard to see in the photo. The chocolate chip layer underneath is stamped with versamark to create a hint of a pattern.

You'll have to come back and check later this week for an updated workshop and classes post. I will have 2 different ones to choose from and I cannot wait to share all the cool items from the new 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalogue. If you are interested in laying your hands on a physical copy please let me know so I can get one to you. Or you can always download it from the bar on the right side of the screen.

The current Spring/Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalogue retires at the end of June. For the next while I'll be trying to use up my stash - therefore you might be seeing a lot of the Tangerine Tango. It's not a colour I have used much of at all!

Make sure that you get hold of the Last Chance List. Check out the links on the left side of the screen at the top. These stamps and Decor Elements are disappearing the end of June, this is your last chance to get your hands on them!

Is your birthday coming up? My husband just reminded me today that June is just around the corner, as in next week! Ack! That means my birthday is even closer than I thought!!!

Anywho enough with the exclamation marks! These colours are great together, but it makes it hard to take a great picture of them.

Paper: Baja Breeze, Taken with Teal, Sage Shadow, Whisper White

This is my second attempt at the emerging colour technique (check out my journal cover here)and another card over here. It's a great technique, I used Whisper White card stock but you could use designer series paper or perhaps a different colour other than white. Stamp on your base colour, let it dry then pass your embossing buddy over the whole piece and then stamp in versamark your images where you want your colour to emerge! Next clear emboss those versamarked images and once cooled coat the whole piece in a darker colour. Viola!

Stamps: Nursery Necessities
Ink: Perfect Plum, Pink Pirouette, Almost Amethyst, Versamark
Paper: Perfect Plum, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
Accessories: Button Bouquet, glue dot, sponge dauber, clear embossing powder, embossing buddy

These are so easy to make! I've made three of these now and they will make great gifts! Check out my other Card Purse from my March Class to see those cards. The next 2 cards complete the set, along with these 2 cards I posted last week. And isn't the center piece of the purse darling? I used my new Watercolour wonder crayons to colour directly onto the stamp and them spritz lightly with water and then stamped on watercolour paper. It took a bit of experimenting to get the right amount of water, but it's a really cool effect!
