Today’s More Color Mondays color challenge features some of the colors from the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper. Pulling colors from the DSP is one of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! -everything coordinates: the DSP uses the same colors as our cardstock and inks and embellishments! It is super easy when everything matches and coordinates and even easier when the designers at Stampin’ Up! pick great colors that work well together!

Today’s color match up uses Misty moonlight, Old Olive and the returning In Color Crisp Cantaloupe!

It also features the NEW Waterside Retreat Suite of products and the DSP in this Suite has a 12″ x 12″ piece that has 13 different images – cut them apart and use for easy card or scrapbook page designs!

Measurements:
BASE: Misty Moonlight CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
DSP: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″, scraps for the grass
dies
Crisp Cantaloupe CS: scrap for the adirondack
stamp and die

Cut the center top image from the multi image piece of DSP down to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to the Misty Moonlight card base front.
Stamp the adirondack chair image from the Relaxing Waterside Bundle in Pecan Pie ink on Crisp Cantaloupe CS and die cut out from the coordinating die set Relaxing Waterside dies.
On Basic White CS scrap stamp the tall and shirt grasses in old Olive ink and die cut out.
Pop up the Adirondack chair on Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere to the lower left-hand corner of the card front.
Adhere the grass die cuts behind the chair image.
Stamp the sentiment Relax in Old Olive ink in the upper right-hand corner of the DSP.
Adhere the Crisp Cantaloupe In Color Dots around the sentiment.
I added the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer to the inside of the card and stamped off a tall grass on the right-hand side and an inside sentiment in full strength Old Olive ink.
I stamped another grass in old Olive and layered it under the chair image on the left side to give the card a little balance.

I added some seagull die cuts from the Sunset Coast bundle to finish off the card.

Now it is your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
Natalie
