Stef is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she has given us four lovely colors to work with: Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Melon Mambo, and So Saffron. The dessert option this week is "spring images."
I've been itching to use this new Turnabout stamp from Concord & 9th, Stitched Turnabout. It is perfect for a needlework friend of mine whose birthday is coming right up. I removed the optional center part of the Turnabout to allow space for my greeting. I inked with one color, stamped, rotated, cleaned the stamp and did it all over again, four times! This is the amazing result. I'm hoping the leaf sprigs qualify me for dessert! LOL!
Then I chose stamps from the same set for my greeting. I punched a couple of hearts, covered with Wink of Stella, and then with Glossy Accents to give them lots of sparkle and shine. Mounted the panel on a So Saffron card base. Nice and flat to go through the mail.
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us this week!

I love the stitched look of this and it is perfect for the color challenge, Barbara! When I first saw this I thought you must have markered the different colored parts. Turnabout makes so much more sense.
