Make a Wish


I great sketch using MOJO  Monday 327.  



Hi there! I'm a little late getting my card up today. 
I tried several different stamps and papers before I finally settled on this combo using the new Retrofresh DSP132993. I think 
I am loving this as much as I have the Kaleidoscope DSP.  ;}

I'm finding myself becoming very comfortable with vibrant and fresh colors.  I used to lean only towards a softer palette, but now I'm having a difficult time "playing" with those colors. I promise a softer palette of cards next month. 

Stampin' Up! has a beautiful paper,Watercolor Wonder DSP 132994
that is calling my name. Daffodil Delight,Smokey Slate,
Tangerine Tango are just a fewthat coordinate with the paper.

So stay tuned and bear with me as I create with this DSP.

Hooray



I am posting a day early today. I have some new product arriving 
today from Stampin' Up!'s new Occasions catalog and I'm hoping
 to use it either tonight or tomorrow.  

I thought I was finished with creating with the Kaleidoscope DSP,
but I guess not.  I saw this sketch Cindy put up on Friday Mashup and it shouted, Kaleidiscope!  So here, yet again, ANOTHER card with that paper.

For the main image I chose to use the "Polaroid" frame. This is only the second card using this technique, and I really love how it looks. 

SU does have the ON File (132969, pg18 OC) dies available to get this look, but I have not ordered it yet.  Sad, but true. It is on my WISH List, though!
