Triple Play!


Have you visited the blog, Stamp Something? If not, go check it out. I found it a while back (I think it just got started a month or so ago) because one of my stamping/swap buddies, Becky Carafa (beccabatgirl on SCS) became part of their design team. This is not a stamp company that sells stamps or stamping related products. It is a site which provided inspiration. Every Friday they post fun and unique challenges. The DT posts pics of their creations and anyone can play. I loved the concept behind this weeks challenge. They called it Triple Play-3 layers, 3 colors, and 3 embellishments! Right away I knew the colors I'd use-Guava, Banana, and Choc. chip (this week's color combo on SCS). These three colors are so beautiful together. Since I am still playing with my new Unity stamps, I just had to use my Giggle Grove set again. Are you sick of it yet? Good, neither am I, LOL! The hardest part of this challenge for me was the three layer limitation. It is amazing how quickly layers add up when you start trying to mat everything you stamp. The three embellishments I used were my Jumbo eyelets (I love how you can see the guava color peeking through each of those circles), Choc. chip twill ribbon (isn't the tailored bow so cute?!), and Ice Stickles (just had to add some sparkle-look at the birdie's wing and the banana dots below the choc. ribbon).

I love how this card turned out. The other cool thing about this challenge and the blog is that they are looking for a Guest Designer and they are holding a little contest. This is my submission. I'll let you know if I make the top 5 this week! Keep your fingers crossed! Have a terrific weekend. We are heading out to the lake after Tim gets off work. The boys are looking forward to some S'mores-yummmm!

Hugs,
