A Patriotic Theme for SUO

Hello and Welcome to our fun line up for SUO Challenges.  We are a design team using only Stampin' Up! products in  a fun challenge!!

This time we have a Patriotic Challenge.  And this really was a challenge for me!

Eventually I decided to go with the traditional Australian Green and Gold and added a little splash of Night of Navy in a nod to our flag.  

I've used Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody - some really fun new colours in our Brights collection.  Don't they look just super together?  My background was created using some Brusho Inks and a watercolour wash.  After it was dry I stamped the fun confetti images from the great and super versatile stamp set Treat Time.  The greeting was created using the emboss resist technique - emboss with white embossing powder and then add a watercolour wash with ink.  It was punched using the new Darling Label Punch.

So, how did I go?  Does this suit the Patriotic guidelines?  We'd love you to join n the fun too and add your project to our lineup over on our blog.

Until Next Time,

Happy Stamping,

Love Julia   x
