Stamping on card stock and 

blending Sage CS with Carolina Ink  

creates a new color - blue green.

I had the Sapphire CS backing the sage stamped paper.

Added the sapphire stamped scallop around the circle shaker and the ribbon and flowers.
 Muted is nice - bold is better!

 Gate Fold opening

This stamp set was a challenge for me, then I decided to use embossing powder; so simple!  I actually started with gold, then since the paper I settled on was Charcoal I switched to the Silver Embossing Powder; funny how the light tricks the camera and it looks gold. 

I also thought the images lent themselves to a Gate Fold Card. I can add a message inside or even a simple banner sentiment on the front. To-Be-Determined later - depending on the occasion.

I used the simple pattered paper from "As You Grow" with the charcoal background and the little Mulberry Flowers. I distressed the edges of paper.  The image was stamped on Mulberry Cardstock with Versa Mark and heat embossed with Silver embossing powder.

Now "Hop" on over to  Becca-Expressions to see her work!
