I created a number of these darling little cards and gave them to every one who placed an order with me during July...

Stamps: Mosaic Madness (wood: 130246, clear: 130249), Happy Day (wood: 130294, clear: 130297). Ink: Baked Brown Sugar (131174), Pool Party (126982), Baked Brown Sugar Stampin' Write Marker (2013-2015 In Colors: 131260), Bermuda Bay Stampin' Write Marker (131899), Calypso Coral Stampin' Write Marker (131902). Card/Paper: Pool Party Core'dinations Card Stock (Subtles: 129954), Pool Party (124391), Whisper White (106549). Accessories: Rhinestone Basic Jewels (119246). Tools: Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (113439), Modern Mosaic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (129984), Mosaic Punch (131267), Stampin' Sanding Block (129367), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).

Having a coordinated product suite really makes creating fun and easy. This card uses some of the products from the Quatrefancy Suite, found on page 120 of the Annual Catalogue. I used the Mosaic Madness stamp set (available in wood-mount and clear-mount), the matching Mosaic Punch and layered them over the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder. To get that lovely textured background, I used the Pool Party Core'dinations card stock and sanded the surface after embossing.

Did you notice the multiple colours in the stamped images? This is achieved by inking the stamp with Stampin' Write Markers instead of a stamp pad. It's fun to do and you can get two, three or more colours in one stamped image.

And now is a great time to get your favourite markers because, for a limited time, Stampin' Up! is offering a selection of individual markers that you would usually purchase as part of a set.
