New catalogue...new colours!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...
No... it's not Christmas, well it may as well be for me as I love colour and this is the time of year I get to introduce to you and play with 5 new colours to the Stampin' Up! palette.
Every year they introduce 5, and they are with us for 2 years, so although I'm mourning the loss of Mint Macaron, these 5 new beauties are keeping me VERY happy.

If you would like to look at the new catalogue that will be going live on June 1st, please contact me and I'll send one out to you asap!

So without further ado, they are

...Fresh Fig...

...Berry Burst...

...Powder Pink...

...Lemon Lime Twist...

...Tranquil Tide...

To accompany the new inks, pens and cardstock there is a beautiful in colour paper stack.  Here is a card using all 5 of the colours.

{40th Birthday card}

Had the pleasure of making this for a friend of mine last week.

For any of you who love Stampin' Up! products there's only a couple of days left to benefit from all the fab offers on at the moment.

The best one (in my opinion) is to sign up and get up to £61 of free products!

For £99 you can choose £160 Stampin' Up! goodies.  Please contact me asap for a no pressure chat about what it would involve.

Used up some retired paper for the flowers.  The background was embossed with the Fluttering embossing folder, then I used a sponge dabbed with in the white Craft Ink.
