My August Hostess Card Club were thrilled to learn a few new techniques as they made their projects. I told all of them that I was challenging myself to not use Whisper White or Very Vanilla as my neutrals in this months’ projects. Instead, I used Sahara Sand on one of the cards and River Rock on the other. They weren’t too sure what to expect but after they saw the samples they loved them!! Whew!!!!
In the spirit of this years Convention Theme, “My Way”, I took two swaps that I received at convention this year and changed them up “My Way.” The card I am sharing with you today was originally created by Cheryl Braney, a demonstrator from Palm Desert, California.
Cheryl used the following colors in her card: Whisper White, Raspberry Ripple, Baroque Burgundy, and Primrose. She also used the Ribbon Punch.
In my card I used ( I will * the items I changed):
STAMPS:
INKS: Raspberry Ripple

In creating their second card they learned how to create 3-D flowers that are mailable, and the tile technique. I used the color combination of Sahara Sand, Basic Gray & Pool Party which may sound a little odd but the colors went together beautifully.
I would loke to invite you to join us on the first Monday of each month to laugh, and learn fun new stamping ideas each month. If you aren’t in the Naperville area you can learn “exclusive” projects each month join my “online club.”
