Priscilla's Papercrafts: Humming Along Sneak Peek

Here's another Sneak Peek of images coming soon in the Occasions Catalog:

When I was at OnStage Live in Orlando, Florida, Stampin' UP!'s 30th anniversary party, one of the "all attendee give-aways" was the set, Humming Along. It's a beauty!

And during the lunches each day in Orlando, when we opened our boxes we found notes signed by staff - a lovely gesture and such a surprise! On my first day, I had a note signed by Maria A, and she wanted me to "have a lovely day".

Well I thought maybe Maria deserved a lovely day too, so I made her a thank you note using this lovely stamp set.

The set has this gorgeous flower image, as well as a beautiful hummingbird; both are line images and perfect for coloring.

I'm not coloring expert but I do love coloring with Stampin' Blends, so I was thrilled to get this set.

I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black ink on Whisper White Cardstock. I colored it with the Real Red combo Stampin' Blends, Light Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody Light, and the combo of Shaded Spruce. I outlined the edge of the flower with a Light Smoky Slate Blend, to add a little depth. And although hard to see, I also painted on some Wink of Stella for a subtle sparkle.

The lovely sentiment was stamped was stamped and then I took a Shaded Spruce Stampin' Write Marker and flicked the ink for a "splatter" effect all over the front of the card.

The card base is Basic Black. There are two "crooked" layers, one of Real Red and one of Shaded Spruce, and the main panel is set straight on top.

As you can see, the leaf from the set was stamped and colored on the front of the envelope - no one likes a naked envelope!

Put this set on your shopping list! You're going to love it! The Occasions catalog will make it's debut, along with Sale-a-Bration, staring January 3rd. I can't wait to share it with you!
