Countdown to Confetti - Count Your Rainbows



Good morning. I am so excited to be joining in on the Reverse Confetti previews for the latest collection, consisting of five fabulous new stamp sets which will be released on September 8. How did I get this gig? Well I will tell you. I was the August Sketch for You to Try winner. If I can win so can you. The current SFYTT is here.

Today I am using the new Count Your Rainbows set which is part of the Key Words Collection. I love this set and immediately jotted down at least five ideas for it the day it arrived in the mail. And I've thought of a few more since then. The hard part was deciding which one to create first.

I've actually had this group of papers put together for a while now just waiting for the right stamp to come along for them. I stamped the sentiment with Memento London Fog ink onto a tag shape, then added some die cut stars across the top, one of which I threaded the ribbon through before securing to the tag. I finished off the ribbon with baker's twine and a button and then added one more star to one of the background panels. A few layered pearls provided the finishing touch.



Products: Reverse Confetti stamp, My Mind's Eye dp, PTI die and button, American Crafts ribbon, The Cat's Pajamas CutUps, Kaisercraft pearls, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Memento ink

That wraps it up for me today but I wanted to let you know one more thing. Leave a comment on each sneak peek for each designer September 5-7 for a chance to win a $15 Reverse Confetti gift certificate. Comments will close at noon CDT September 7 and the winner will be announced at 5pm on September 7th. A list of all the participating designers are on the Reverse Confetti blog.

Here is the full Count Your Rainbows set:
