It is Thursday and time for a new Create with Stamping Friends Challenge.  This week it is a sketch challenge.

What a fun sketch.  I like the diagonal stripes and thought I would use the new 2025-27 In Colors for the stripes.  These colors will become available starting May 6th when the new Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalog will go live.

The In Colors from top to bottom-Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling.  I think I am going to really like this batch of In Colors.  The In Color strips are 1/4" wide.  Behind the strips are pieces from the Mixed Florals dies.  The Mixed Florals dies are currently not available but expected back in stock mid month.   The sweet little flowers in Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger were cut using the Impressions Abloom Dies which will become available May 6th as part of the Online Exclusive release.  These dies are part of the Impressions Abloom bundle (part of the Floral Impressions Suite).  In the center of the flowers are Iridescent Pearls.  The sentiment is from another new bundle, Sweet Jar another Online Exclusive releasing on May 6th.  The sentiment was heat embossed using the WOW! Embossing Powder, Basics.

Inside I used the In Colors again.  The flower was cut using the Impressions Abloom dies.  These flowers are so special.  There is a die that creates that texture on the flower petals and center  as well as one that cuts out the flowers. 

Be sure to check out what the rest of the Create with Stamping Friends design team created with this sketch.
