Stampin' Up Color & Contour - Creations in Paper

Stampin’ Up Color & Contour

Hello Everyone – I borrowed the Stampin’ Up Color & Contour stamp set and made a few cards.

I have debated about this stamp set and decided to borrow it from a friend to see if I really liked playing with it. I love how I can use the stamp set with other products like I used on this card.

This card needed something when I laid it out on the card base. I decided the splatter background would add just the right touch to the Stampin' Up Color & Contour creation.

Evening Evergreen

Basic White

Rich Razzleberry

The simple flower in the Color & Contour stamp set was the perfect image to use on this card.

I used the same sprig to decorate the inside of the card and the envelope.

This sprig was the perfect stamp to add to a skinny banner on the card front. I knew it would be perfect for the inside of the card and the envelope of the Stampin' Up Color & Contour creation.

Sometimes an embossed background is the perfect accent to the card. The splatter embossing folder is perfect for the wellies on this card. The hive embossing folder sets this flower off.
