Two of my dear friends, Barbara and Carol, have just become Stampin' Up demonstrators and I am happy to share a few projects with the all new 2020 products. My first card was made playing with the gorgeous ink colors: Soft Suede and Crushed Curry.
I blended the inks with a makeup brush, then stamped first and second generation images of the vine to make the undergrowth. I stamped the flourish medallion and fussy cut it, then stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy and fussy cut it to layer over the medallion. I stamped portions of the script/text by curling the stamp in my hand (not mounting to a block) so that only part of the stamp made an impression.
I decided to play with another color palette: Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry. I mounted the sentiment strip and tucked in some mini pom pom fringe from my stash. I accented the flowers with gemstones from my stash.
This card was made at our local stamp Saturday with Dixie Sue, Barbara and Carol's upline. I went my own way with the card. We used Aqua Painters with watered down Pigment Sprinkles. I did a wash over my watercolor paper, then stamped the palm trees in Crumb Cake and went back over them to add watercolor details. The sentiment was stamped on torn vellum and the Gumballs were from my stash.
Since it's Sale-A-Bration time, there are freebies to be had! I fell in love with this cakestand from Happy Birthday to You. I colored it with my Zig markers and used the coordinating Birthday Dies (available for a very limited time). I used the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder for my background. More Gumdrops from my stash.
And I finished up my cast off card. We made the Lots of Happy Card Kit when we were away on our girls weekend recently. The kit is designed to make three of five cards. I stretched my elements to get seven cards. We used SU ink pads to watercolor. I pulled the stamp set from the Notes of Kindness Card Kit for some of the cards. I've made both of these kits now and L. O. V. E. them to bits!

Oh, Autumn!! These cards are all gorgeous! It makes me so happy to see your creativity with SU products. Love every single detail. Have a great day!
I've looked at these stamp sets and said "I don't need any of these". Then you create with them and my mind goes in a different direction. I just love all of your creations! I've been on the fence about Very Versailles......not anymore. Thank you.
WOW!!! What a gorgeous array of cards!! I love the background on the first one, the colors on the dandelion one, the watercolor wash on the palm tree card, and that gorgeously embossed background on your cake card!
Wow! Such a beautiful set of cards Autumn! The backgrounds are stunning and I love the stamps. How lovely to be part of a girlie, crafty weekend. Bet you had a ball. Stunning work! x
So lovely, Autumn - your coloring choices are just amazing - I love them all! I do feel pretty partial to cake, though, lol, and I love how you colored those flowers! Thanks so much for playing at SUO!
I love your cake sitting on the tin tile background. The flowers looks great with the pink palette. Simply lovely! Thanks for doing us at SUO Challenges.
Wow, Autumn...these are all gorgeous cards. Each one is so unique in design. You are so creative!
They are all just beautiful.
Beautiful collection of cards! I like your tip about curling a stamp in your hand to stamp a partial image, that's not a technique I've ever seen anyone else use. Learn something new every day! Thanks for joining us at SUO Challenges, hope to see you in our gallery for the new challenge starting today!
