Groovy Skies

This is for today's Color Challenge on SCS, Groovy Skies. . .to use Soft Sky and Groovy Guava. I really like the softness of this color combo. I thought this sunflower stamp by Inkadinkado would work with the Groovy Guava coloring. I did add some Wild Wasabi for the leaves and Close to Cocoa as a border. The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! So Many Sayings Hostess set. For the faux stitching, I used my Bashful Blue marker. This card is so different from what I've been doing lately, it's hard to get used to! I do like it though. Hope you do too! Thanks for stopping by!

On a side note, I had a question the other day from Mary Anna. She asked:

Charmaine, Your cards are very nice!I do have a question? I see that you are using Cling for the back of your stamps now. and I see that you are storing them in the regular clam shell boxes.My question is how does this save you space?I thought the whole reason for cling backing was to save space too!!

Mary Anna, to answer your question. . .I don't save any space :), but that wasn't why I used the Cling. I used the cling on that particular stamp set because it comes as 3 stamps (3 large wood blocks) with a list of sentiments on each stamp. Instead of having to color JUST the sentiment I wanted to use or stamp the whole thing and cut out the sentiment I wanted to use, I cut ALL of the sentiments apart. Since I didn't have small blocks for each of the now 34 stamps, I put cling on the back so that I could use them with an acrylic block and not have to worry about finding wooden blocks for each of them. Does that make sense? So far, that's the only set I've done this to. Hope I've answered your question!
