Time for another color combo challenge entry. Each month we're given a set of colors and challenged to create a project with a given set of colors. This month's colors are Pineapple Punch, Highland Heather and Sahara Sand. The colors are quite different from each other, yet all seemed somewhat muted and neutral. I chose to use the Country Home stamp set to showcase a pitcher full of foliage.
Along with some really beautiful floral images, the Country Home Stamp Set also has a very interesting geometric shape. I used this shape to stamp the purple strip on the left side of the card.
The only possible way to get perfect alignment of a geometric image like this is to use a hinged stamp positioner with multiple hinge positions. While there are many different manufacturers of stamp positioning tools, to get this kind of perfect placement you really need the option for multiple hinge positions. Stampin'UP!'s Stamparatus has the option to shift hinge positions of the stamping plate.
The focus of this project was to showcase the color combination. So rather than stamp the floral sprays from the stamp set, I chose instead to punch some floral springs from the Pineapple Punch and Highland Heather cardstock and to fussy cut the pitcher from the Sahara Sand.

If you're reading this far you must have come full circle in the hop. As a final comment I'll just add that if you don't already have a Stamparatus, you need one for sure. There are so many things you can do with this tool. Check out this video using the Stamparatus to do wreath stamping and this video showing how to do reflection stamping.
