Sale-a-bration Bliss

In honor of Sale-a-bration, here's another quick card.


This is from the Sale-a-bration set that I pre-ordered.  It's called Bliss.  I loved this filigree and it was perfect for the Color Challenge on SCS today.

When I saw the colors, Soft Suede (not a favorite), Elegant Eggplant & Riding Hood Red, I was a bit dismayed.  I've been thinking I'd like to brighten up my cards a bit and this was not working into my plans!

I was trying to figure out how I could use this set and all these colors and I had a Eureka! moment.  Markers, filigree and subtle coloring.

So if you look close all the colors are on there.  I used Whisper White & Crumb Cake for my neutrals and I'm quite pleased with it.

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Bliss
Ink:  Su Markers (Soft Suede, Elegant Eggplant, Riding Hood Red)
Paper:  Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant
Accessories:  Big Shot, Square Lattice EF, Scallop Edge Border Punch

And just a couple of notes here.  I neglected to mention my blogging friend Brenda (Benzi Stampz) who is also on the Design Team of Stampin' B's.  You can find a link to her blog on my sidebar.

And Chrissie of Simply One of a Kind, honored me today with the Stylish Blogger Award! Thank you so much Chrissie!  (You can link to her blog from the sidebar too.)

Stampin' Friends are the best!

Enjoy,
Bonnie

  2. Thanks for the mention, Bonnie...no worry there.

    Your card is so pretty and I love the image. You've used the colors really well.
    Every time I come to your blog, I see something else I want. You've made me want Bliss, Elizabeth, embossing folders, etc. I have to stay away from your blog. LOL Just kidding.
