Lovely Lattice Last Take in Full Color

March 29, 2019

Today we're going to create the Lovely Lattice Last Take in Full Color. Last week we did 2 designs with no color at all, then Tuesday we did a bit of color with daubers and today, we're going full out color with the Blends (alcohol markers). Take a look... 3-29-19 Lovely Lattice colored with wink

These alchohol markers are absolutely the best fun--you can just color as usual or you can blend colors from light to dark, etc.  I only used 2 sets for this card but see the variable coloring...tons of fun. I also added a bit of Wink of Stella to add my touch of sparkle.

Normally, you would stamp the image in Memento ink which is designed to be used with the alcohol markers so that it will not bleed into your color. But we designed this card with wet embossing (see https://www.sandilovesstamping.com/2019/03/no-coloring-gorgeous-lovely-lattice-card-2.html) so we didn't use Memento this time.

As we mentioned previously, this stamp set (Lovely Lattice) is FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration and you only have 2 more days to take advantage of this offer! Sale-a-bration ends 3/31/19 at midnight!

The story began using the new Sale-a-bration bundle (Painted Seasons)--the stamp & designer paper...so far, I was on track. But if you know me you know that sparkle is my middle name & it's not done til it sparkles. So after stamping that lovely flower in Berry Burst ink (this is retiring) and though awesome--I added Wink of Stella & to my utter surprise...the Berry Burst color just burst off the paper! I couldn't believe it was the same image....look at this--see the one petal on which I use the Wink? Painted seasons close up

After it dries most of the detail is still visible although, as you know, Wink does bleed the color a bit so some of the minute detail is lost. But look at the final result & let me know if you miss it! Painted seasos tag

The Four Seasons bundle (stamp set and designer series paper) is a freebie during Sale-a-bration (in effect until March 31st). The framelits (Four Seasons framelits) are for sale during Sale-a-bration.

*If you order ONLINE and use this month's host code (MN3BV2BR) you'll receive $5 in Stampin'Up! product from me for each $50 in product you purchase.

Directions:

1. Cut Shaded Spruce cardstock 4 1/2 X 2; punch top with Scalloped Tag Topper punch and thread about 12" of silver/white twine through hole.

2. Cut 1 1/2 X 2 Painted Season designer paper; adhere to bottom with liquid glue.

In colors

My favorite is still Powder Pink but then I'm always going to pick pink! But I have fallen in love with all the others too--see how well they all blend together...don't leave any of them out of your color pallette.

When the full retiring list comes out (usually in April) some of these products will be out of stock overnight. You can be smart in getting yours now before they are gone from the shelves...in fact some of these are already on the back order list. If you get yours ordered now, you'll still be able to get these when the supply is replenished. Once these go "out of stock" you won't be able to order them any longer.

This is a great time to stock up because Sale-a-bration will still be in effect for 3 weeks...you can still earn those freebies while replenishing your supplies of these outgoing In Colors.

Remember:
