January Stamp of the Month: This Moment

I wanted to create some artwork with January's stamp of the month, This Moment.  I decided to use Pantone's Color of the Year - Marsala.  Have you seen or heard about it yet?  I think our Barn Red is a great match for it.  And here's all their Spring 2015 Colors predicted, I think we have a lot of colors that synch up. 
 


Here's my take on our color matches:  
-Aquamarine: Glacier
-Scuba Blue: Lagoon
-Lucite Green: Juniper  
-Classic Blue: Pacifica
-Toasted Almond: Champagne
-Strawberry Ice: Cotton Candy  
-Tangerine: Sunset
-Custard: Canary
-Marsala: Barn Red
-Glacier Gray: Whisper
 
Pretty nice, huh?  Here are the cards that I made.  This card is using Barn Red Cardstock as the base, with the Diamond Embossing Folder from the Seasonal Expressions guide.  I used some Whisper, Slate and Canary as my coordinating colors.  I also added some striped banners from the All the Details set. 



Switching the colors up, this time I used Glacier, Outdoor Denim, Champagne, and a touch of Cashmere.  I stamped a background with Flight of the Arrows and used a sentiment from Your Own Kind of Wonderful too.



Then I realized that one of the prints in the Pathfinding paper packet had design with a strong Barn Red background.  Perfect!  I even added the tiny heart from You're the Bomb, the Operation Smile set shown on the back of the Seasonal Expressions. 



I love the hostess set, Better with a Friend -- and I thought this lady would go perfect with the XOXO sentiment.  I used the Barn Red print from the Enchantment Paper Fundamentals with some Lagoon, Flaxen, and a touch of Glacier and Champagne and had a whole lot of fun paper piecing.  How cute is this?



I also played around with another hostess set, A Thing Well Done -- and I felt it would go great with the Be Amazing sentiment.  I used the newsprint design from the Heartstrings paper packet, with the colors Cotton Candy and Whisper.  



I've always liked the Barn Red color, but now I have an entirely new appreciation for it.  :-)  The January Stamp of the Month set, This Moment, is only available this month.  Make sure to order yours today!
