Neopolitan is this week's challenge over at LIM. It's the ice cream I know as 'tricolor', yummy and perfect when you can't decide on just one flavor. I used two cupcake stamps, colored them in pink and brown, added a bit of glitter and some pearls. I used pink DI and a Tim holtz stencil on a cream colored paper, much the color of vanilla ice cream. And I stamped a birthday greeting. I've come to love doing color challenges. I used to find them too tricky, they still are challenging, but the hardest part is to settle on what stamps to use, then it gets easier. I rummage through all my stamps before I settle on one, it's a good reminder to see what I already have in my stash, and it's extra fun whenever I get to use a NBUS one.

This is a lovely interpretation of that colour challenge. Those cupcakes are a great stamp...I like the way you coloured them and the glistening look on the icing.
As soon as we book, I will email you...not sure when as Al needs better health to get the out of country insurance without exclusions.

Such a great card, Pia! I've loved your use of stencils lately, I love the soft look you create with them, so pretty! One of my favorite techniques! Great use of our colors too. I wish we had this nice sentiment stamps in Finnish... Ours are all so boring!! Thanks for joining us at Less Is More!
