April 2019 Colour Combo Blog Hop - Beginning Stamper Cards Using The Waterfront Stamp Set

It is already time for another Colour Combo blog hop! This month the Colour Combo crew of Stampin' Up! demonstrators will inspire you with creations using: Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron and Blushing Bride.
While enjoying a virtual mini retreat with my team leader and crafting buddy Libby, I asked if we could work on a set of three beginning stamper cards per a pinterest pin I'd found. Here is the -> pinterest pin so you can follow along. Normally Libby and I enjoy creating more elaborate cards so I wasn't sure if she would agree. She graciously said yes and off we went!
I've made a video walking through my three cards and tomorrow I will post Libby's projects so this article isn't a mile long! --> Video link note length: 9 min 5 sec. Video also embedded below.
I tend to struggle with basic stamping projects so this was a great exercise in how to relax and enjoy making things with as little as a few ink pads, white cardstock, and a couple of embellishments.Here are all three cards made using fun patterns.
I did use a neutral color for the sentiment. I tried black and gray but both were too dark. Sahara Sand matches the linen thread so I went with that.
I struggled the most with the circles card, here is a close up of what I added to make it work for me. More details are in the video.
Whether you are a beginner, casual or an avid stamper, I hope you gleaned some inspiration from my projects. Don’t forget to leave a comment before you hop to Lizzy and see her creation.
