Hey there! I'm home for the summer! Last day babysitting for Liam and Darcy was yesterday! I will miss kissing their little faces everyday, but I will see them every Sunday, and before I get too comfortable hanging (and stamping!) at home it will be August 15 and school will be starting again!

Today I is the  final card in my Pop of Paradise/Easel Fold series. I have a new box of goodies  I ordered last week; those pretty new stamps are calling me to play!

For today's card I combined Painter's Palette with Pop of Paradise, using a masking technique to keep stamping on the easel.

I used my favorite color combo of Basic Black, Whisper White, Melon Mambo and Emerald Envy again, but added in splatters of embossed gold for extra pizazz!

I used the same layering technique for the easel-stop, cutting up punched Basic Black and Melon Mambo Decorative Labels to layer behind the sentiment.

Another simple technique is to stamp a color once and then stamp again and again without re-inking to achieve multiple shades of the same color.
