Color My World with a VC Rocks Blog Hop

I hope you are enjoying your VC Rocks blog hop today! 

I chose to brayer ink on Whisper White cardstock.  Although I usually use lots of blues, I challenged myself to use some purples and oranges.  I like the results.

This is my first reflection card.  Using the smooth side of the stamp-a-majig sheet was easier than I thought.  The ship stamp, called The Open Sea, is from our Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog. The inks are Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant.  The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.

I brayered different oranges and blues on two pieces of Whisper White cardstock.  Once again I used The Open Sea stamp set to stamp images in Basic Black.  Using my 1 1/4" square punch, I punched out the "interesting" areas, then layered them on Basic Black and Marina Mist cardstock.  I used one piece of each of the baker's twine with the Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler threads for my knot.  The technique, By the Inch, is from the Technique Junkies Newsletter.

I didn't color anything on this card, but just look at the yummy colors in the Nautical Expedition Designer Series Paper!  Mmm!  Once again, I used The Open Sea stamps; this time, inked with Early Espresso.
