New Catalogue Swaps

So, I was entered into swaps with a couple of groups of demonstrators. Here are the 2 cards that I made. The criteria were: you cannot use anything retiring. That means no retiring stamp sets, and no retiring colours (In Color '07). I will be posting all the cards I have received from other demonstrators as well. Wait til you see 'em!

Recipe:

Stamp Sets (SS) - Vases in Vogue, Floral Background

Card Stock (CS) - Wild Wasabi, Groovy Guava, Whisper White

Ink - Basic Black, Wild Wasabi, Groovy Guava, Purely Pomegranate

Other - Brads Bold Brights, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, White Gel Pen, Stampin' Dimensionals

Technique: Faux Stitching (no, I did not sew the card).

Recipe:

SS - Garden Silhouettes

CS - Almost Amethyst, Blue Bayou, Confetti White, Basic Black

Ink - Basic Black, Almost Amethyst, Blue Bayou, Soft Sky

Other - Ticket Corner Punch, Sponges, Silver Brads, 1/16" Circle Punch (for brads), Stampin' Dimensionals

Technique: Rock N' Roll (to get the flower to be Soft Sky in the middle, and Blue Bayou around the edges). See the link below for directions on this technique on Stampin' Up!'s website.
