I was playing around with colors the other day and found a pretty color palette. I “translated” the colors to Stampin’ Up! colors, and came up with this. These are some of my favorites – Blushing Bride, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay…hmmm. I wonder if it’s because it looks a little “beachy?” I decided to use one of the new hostess stamps – Life’s Adventure – for my card.  I was tempted to draw a “boy bar” across the front of the bike, since I don’t know any cyclist – male or female – who rides a “girl’s bike.”   Maybe I’ll add it later. I think this would make a great card for new parents, don’t you?  Because a new baby certainly is an adventure!

I love the new 1/4″ cotton ribbon (I used Blushing Bride) and the Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper.  It’s so pretty – and you can spritz it with an ink refill/alcohol mixture to make it even more versatile.

And speaking of spritzing…here’s a new video from Stampin’ Up! that shows how to make some pretty, fluffy flowers.

Look for fun adventures in your day today!  Thanks for stopping by Stamping with Buffy.
