Hello my stamping friends! I have to tell you that I am IN LOVE with Stampin’ Up’s new In-Color, Mint Macaron. I can’t spell it or say it, but I love it!!
I found these two pattern papers in the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Pack. They are actually the reverse of each other (the green stripe on one side and the black hexagons on the other). I thought they were striking together so I had to sit down and create with them!
I used the Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge for my layout. I haven’t played with them in awhile, so it’s nice to visit friends!
I actually found the sketch challenging and decided to modify it a bit…but you can still see it! I tried to put a layer of paper on as shown in the sketch but my OCD self couldn’t live with the angles being off so I had to tilt my layer a bit more! lol
Isn’t the sentiment darling? It’s from a hostess stamp set called A Whole Lot of Lovely. Very aptly named!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend! It’s finally HOT here in Southern California so I will do my best to stay indoors!! I’d like to leave you with a few memories from last weekend and my trip to the California Central Coast. It was breathtakingly beautiful, cool, and we got to see a lot of sunbathing sea lions!
Wishing you joy and blessings!

Great card Shannon! Which part of the central coast did you visit? I live on the Monterey peninsula.
Stunning card, Shannon. Love the Mint Macaron color too. Thanks for the ideas!
Shannon! All I can say is WOWZZZAAA. Your card is absolutely stunning!
Lovely card! Your stamped flowers turned out gorgeous! I’m having trouble getting this flower to turn out where the ink looks even but yours looks perfect.
Just beautiful, Shannon! I love the layering on this card and the angle of the band. The colors are GORGEOUS! Thanks for playing along with this week’s PPA sketch challenge.
I am LOVING this card! Mint and Black – what a classic combo, and you’ve done it just beautifully! Glad you’re back with the Pals – and thanks for joining PPA this week!
