Have You Seen the New Colors?

Oh, have you seen the new card colors that came out with the new What's in the Box 2012 release? Oh they are so pretty! They are Aloe, Sky, Violet, and Slate. I decided slate would be a fun challenge for me to play with so I created a card with it for you today.

Papers: Memory Box licoric nc, Memory Box slate, Memory Box Viola, Memory Box licorice dot 
Stamps: Memory Box Dogwood Branch F1847, Memory Box Something Special 
Stamp Ink: Archival Ink jet black 
Embellishments: Memory Box classic scallop die, Angora watercolors, Sizzix flower lattice #2 embossing folder, Robin's Nest black dewdrop, sewing machine

I first cut a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of slate cardstock. I then embossed it with an embossing folder. Look how amazing the embossing looks in this color. I love how much white from the core comes through. This is paper I will definitely emboss again. Next, I added a strip of Viola paper as well as a piece of licorice dot paper cut with the Memory Box Classic Scallop die. I then added some sewing to the papers before adhering them to my Memory Box licorice notecard. 

Next I stamped the Memory Box Dogwood Brand stamp twice onto white cardstock. I used my watercolors to color in the flowers. I cut one flower out and layered it on top of the first flower before adhering to the card. Next I stamped the Memory Box Something Special stamp onto Viola paper and trimmed for a tag. And lastly, I added a little embellishment to the flowers to finish.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing one of the new colors and how it embosses so beautifully! I will be back soon with more new goodies to share! Oh, and if you missed my layout I posted on the DT blog the other day, here is how it turned out:

Stamps: Memory Box Leafy Branch Globe E1850
Stamp Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink dusty concord
Embellishments: Memory Box blank ticket die, Tim Holtz mini paper clip, Basic Grey Kioshi chipboard letters, Lyra apple green colored pencil, Craftworkcard Candi greenwich village, vintage Flinch card, misc. ribbon, Zva Creative flourish, sewing machine

I love, love, love Memory Box dies, stamps and cardstock....my local stamp store sells out of the new items about as quickly as she gets them in....I've converted all my cardmaking friends over to Memory Box dies...they all got them for Christmas presents from me this past holiday and they were a really big hit. Keep up the great work!!! Love all the videos you all present, too. So easy to follow.
