Reverse Confetti: June Blog Hop

It's the 8th of May which means the Reverse Confetti Blog Hop! Today's theme is: Summer

You should have arrived here from Heather Hoffman's awesome blog! If not, you'll want to start at the beginning of the fun which is the Reverse Confetti blog!

Here's a peek at my projects:

I had so much fun picking out a couple of Summer Themed stamp sets:

Mahalo

Think Pink

Pineapple Aplenty

So do you see an overall trend with my card trio?

First up is the Mahalo card:

I used the Paper Bliss Paper Pad with all three cards. Do you spy stencil work? I used the Pointed Out stencil. It might look a bit ombre'. That was totally a happy accident, I tend to neglect cleaning up all the time. There was residual ink on the stencil and then I added Sunshine ink on top of it. I love the look.

TIP: Card set production can be made easier if you work with the same paper collection and card sketch

Ink colors I used:

Rose • Lime Green • Sunshine • Dark Roast • Midnight

Another recurring element I used was the Circles 'n Scallops confetti cuts for all of the main images to nestle on.

Next up is Think Pink:

Aren't you loving the Paper Bliss patterns?! So filled with fun colors and designs.

I think those sweet flamingos in Think Pink are so sweet!

Lots of foam dimensionals on this card. I finished off the card with pops of black.

My final card features Pineapple Aplenty:

I was having a bunch of happy accidents. I originally stamped out the Summer Lovin' pineapple with Sunshine + Rose ink. I didn't like the look, cleaned it off and stamped it with Piggy Bank. Well, in my haste, I didn't clean off the stamp that well because the Rose still stamped out with the Piggy Bank giving it an ombre' effect. How lucky was I?
