This is my sample for CC713. Barbara is our hostess and she has chosen balmy blue, pineapple punch, granny apple green and berry burst for her color palette. Dessert Option is a never been used stamp set.
For my card I used the Stampin'-Up Waterfront set. I bought this set because I was seeing so many beautiful scenic cards stamped with it but then I never used it. Sound familiar anyone???
I watched this video on YouTube from Christine Riley and I loved what she did with the set so I went to work on my card.
I stamped the mountains in balmy blue ink. I stamped off 2x to give the appearance of being farther away. Then the closer mountain ranges in full strength.
The trees in front of the mountains I used night of navy ink (it's Stampin'-Up's new neutral). Stamped off 1x on some of the trees.
The water is stamped with balmy blue. I stamped off 2x again for a color gradient. Then the darker water is stamped full strength.
Used granny apple green ink for the grassy areas. The pine trees on the grassy areas are stamped in mossy meadow (another new neutral from Stampin'-Up).
The pineapple punch is covered with the son and the berry burst with my thanks phrase.
Well that's my sample for this week. Hope you can play along with us. The DT has created quite a variety of samples for inspiration.

Mary, I am absolutely blown away by what you've done with this stamp set. Your scene is so beautiful and inviting. I love the color variations you achieved by second and third generation stamping, and stamping an image repeatedly. Really special card!
