Playing with another new stamp set today it is called Colorful Seasons and as the name suggests it has images which cover the whole year from Spring flowers, through Summer deck chairs, Autumn leaves and Winter snowflakes. What great value for money. There is also a co-ordinating die set called Seasonal Layers which I am not using today.

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the frame of the deckchair from the Colorful Seasons stamp set in Archival Basic Gray ink. Using Sahara Sand ink I stamped the ‘swooshy’ stamp from the Touches of Texture stamp set to give the illusion of ground under the deckchair. I used the ‘kissing technique’ to add the fun pattern to the cloth of the deckchair. To do this I inked up the solid deckchair cloth image in Blushing Bride ink and inked up the intricate floral stamp from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set and ‘kissed’ the 2 together before stamping the deckchair cloth image onto the stamped frame. Absolutely love this effect, it looks fabulous.

I stamped the small branch in the upper left hand corner using Sahara Sand ink and added the buds in Watermelon Wonder ink, sadly now retired. I rounded the upper right hand corner of the stamped piece and added it, using Tombow Liquid Adhesive to a layer of Basic Gray cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Eastern Beauty stamp set in Watermelon Wonder ink onto a layer of Whisper White cardstock, just over half way up and added the stamped piece on Stampin’ Dimensionals just below. This panel was then added to a card base of Watermelon Wonder cardstock.
