Pop of Petals - Merry Merlot, Lovely Lipstick and Poppy Parade

Finally finishing my review of all things red!!  I have been so busy shopping, cooking, decorating, and general running around for the family that I am falling behind on my blogging.  We are having our big family Christmas early, so I will have the rest of December to catch up and craft, craft, craft!!  I think it is going to be a great December.
I finally got out the Pop of Petals stamp set and coordinating Four Petal Flower Punch over the weekend, boy I had fun stamping.  My inspiration came from Pinterest and voila, three cards to show off three great colors, Poppy Parade, Lovely Lipstick, and Merry Merlot.  You can see my Real Red post here and my favorite red, Cherry Cobbler, here.

Happy December - It 's All About The Color Red - Real Red Noel - December Host Code

Once Thanksgiving has passed, I start seeing the color red everywhere!!  Red lights along the streets in my neighborhood, red merchandise in the stores and red decorations at restaurants.   This week I am sharing some creations using a few of the wonderful shades of red offered by Stampin' Up!(r) starting today with the true red - Real Red.

  Measurements:
Real Red base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Shimmery White layer 3 x 4 1/4
Ink:
Memento Tuxedo Black 
Brusho Crystals
Stamp Set:
Joy & Noel
Tools and Embellishments:
Layering Oval Framelits
Black Solid Bakers Twine
Metallic Pearls

TIP: I suggest you use the Stamparatus to stamp the image onto Shimmery White cardstock.  I had to stamp 3 times to get a good solid image of the lettering.  Be sure to let it dry thoroughly before applying Brusho with the aqua painter.   Some folks prefer to use Stazon ink with Brusho, but my experience using Memento ink with Brusho has been positive.

To learn more about how to use the Brusho products from Stampin' Up! watch this video. The colors Brilliant Red, Yellow and Moss Green were used on my Joy & Noel card.  Other coloring options available from Stampin Up! are Watercolor Pencils, Stampin' Write Markers, and Stampin' Blends
