Four Days of Sweet Sugarplum, Day Four

Today's post is our final day playing with Sweet Sugarplum.  I've saved my favorite card in this color for our final day of this little series. 

This is the most elegant of all my Sweet Sugarplum cards.  It has lots of layers and lots of details, including gold embossing and touches of gold ink.

I even have what I call a 'happy accident' on this project.  While trying to watch my 2 puppies and finish this card at the same time, I accidentally got into the wrong stamp pads and got gold ink AND Sweet Sugarplum ink on my stamp.  The result turned out to be quite pretty and I was able to clean up the ink pads, so no harm done.

I love coordinating the inside of the card and the envelope with the beautiful card front.

I added a fun little touch with the ribbon and some gold cording.  I colored the flower and the leaves using my Aqua Painter. 

I really didn't think I was going to like this color when I first saw it, but this is one of my favorite cards and I love it in this color.

Meet Sweet Sugarplum ... Wrapping Up All 5 New Colors

It's no secret that I've never been a big lover of anything plum, but this shade is really, really, really pretty.  Really.  It's soft and luscious and works great with a lot of our other colors. 

So now you can see why I'm having such a difficult time choosing my favorite.  Just when I think I've decided, the next day I change my mind.  

By the way, the embossing shows up much better in real life.  The light just didn't hit it right.  Maybe I need a different time of day to do my photo shoot ... or maybe... I need a new photographer:) 

Okay, time's up!  It's time for you to decide...  
               Which is your favorite new In Color?????

I will make my decision by June 26 for my Catalog Party/Open House.  Anyone who guesses which color I chose as my new favorite, will win a prize... to be announced the day after the party.

There will also be a prize for anyone who correctly guesses which new stamp set I chose as my favorite for this year.  The better you know the catalog, the more likely you are to guess correctly and win the prizes.  If you don't have a new catalog yet, contact me to stop by and pick one up.  I have one waiting for you!  If you don't have it by the party date, you can get one when you come to the party.
