more color mondays – tahitian tide, starry sky and parakeet party
Can you tell I am sad that these In Colors are retiring I want to make the most out of these colors while we still have them! Today’s More Color Monday features three of the 2022-2024 In Color Collection that will soon be gone! (insert sad face here LOL!)
This card incorporates an Blends and alcohol technique we have used before in Starry Sky, Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party.

I love the new glass mat studio, I colored with the three Stampin’ Blends markers directly onto the glass surface and sprayed with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol.
I die cut the wreath from the Natural Prints die set in Basic White cardstock.
I laid the paper down on the surface and allowed time for the ink to be absorbed into the paper.
Then I just wiped the surface clean with the shammy that came with the studio.

Allow the die to dry.
I followed the die cut embossed lines in the die with the Dark Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends marker to add a little highlighting.
I die cut the medium circle from the Everyday Details die set and colored the surface with a blending brush and Starry Sky ink.
I die cut the smaller dotted circle die from the same Everyday Details die set in Parakeet Party cardstock and stamped the Hello There in Starry Sky ink from the Nature’s Prints stamp set that is on the Last Chance list! I popped up the smaller circle onto the larger one.
I did a bit of collage stamping on the Basic White layer starting with the largest image in Starry Sky ink.
I stamped the splatter image in Tahitian Tide next. Overlapping the images.
And last I stamped the fern image in Parakeet Party ink to finish off the stamping.
I cut apart the alcohol colored wreath and adhered it to the card.
I adhered the Basic White stamped layer to the Starry Sky card base.
I added the sentiment focal piece.
I added some Tahitian Tide In Color pearls to give the card a little bling!
At this point I could have been done but I decided that the card needed a little more contrast so I took my Stampin’ Blends markers to my Glass Mat Studio again, die cut another wreath and sprayed more alcohol – this time with a greater emphasis on the Starry Sky marker.
I laid the wreath on the glass and then allowed it to dry.
I ripped the sentiment focal piece off the card , adhered the starry Sky dyed wreath to the card center.
I mounted the sentiment focal piece on top of that wreath which added more contrast that I felt the card needed. What do you think?
I just thought the card needed something! Do not hesitate to change things if you do not love the outcome – you never know the second try could be so much better than the first attempt! I like my second try!
Try this color combination and if you love these colors remember they are leaving soon some of them are SOLD OUT! If you got these ink pads remember to get the ink refills before it’s too late!
Now go and create some In Color creations of your very own – one stamp and one ink pad at a time!
Happy Stampin’
