Today’s clean & simple, “sneak peek,” developed from experimenting with Stampin’ Up’s Soft Pastels. Sky is a great background for many things, so I gently applied the Coastal Cabana Soft Pastel to Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″.

Holding the stick lengthwise, I used a circular motion, then rubbed it in with my index finger. To make sure all of the powder was absorbed, I continued rubbing with a tissue. I’m sure there are other methods, but this is what I did.

Amazing Silhouettes

 

There were so many options for my pretty, blue sky, it was hard to decide. But, since I was experimenting, I decided to use a new stamp set, Amazing Silhouettes. I love silhouettes, and this was a gift to all of the OnStage Attendees. Lucky us! All Demonstrators will be able to order the set starting tomorrow, December 1, and everyone can order it January 4, 2022.

Amazing Thanks Dies #157816 | $27.00  (If you like word dies, you’ll want this).

Next, I stamped the tree in Granny Apple Green Ink, in the middle of the blue background. So pretty; I admired it for a while. Then, I tried several colors for the card base, and chose Soft Sea Foam, 8 1/2 X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

 

“Thinking of you,” is from the Beauty of Friendship Stamp Set, stamped in Granny Apple Green, and cut with its Beautiful Trees Die. I probably thought of it, because this current bundle is all about trees. You can see it in my Product List below.

The sentiment was stamped on Thick Basic White Cardstock with a touch of the Soft Pastel. And, for a little more color, I used the Beautiful Trees Die to cut another label from Pattern Party Designer Paper. This was glued to the sentiment, before attaching it with Dimensionals, and my clean & simple, “sneak peek,” was complete.

 

I was inspired by TGIF.
