I have to admit, Pale Papaya is not my favorite color hue. In fact, I struggle with this yellow\/orange color that seems to shift tendencies depending on its color partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our first combo with Pale Papaya is Calypso Coral and Basic Gray. Of course, Basic Gray lends some neutral sensibility to this mix. And Calypso Coral actually coordinates well with Pale Papaya! When I put all three colors together, I was very pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shaded Summer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I realize as I make this card and write this blog post that it is November. Summer is long over. But, the color combo of Pale Papaya and Calypso Coral reminds me a little of summer. And Basic Gray is definitely &#8220;shade&#8221;! So, I just had to pull out my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/shaded-summer-cling-stamp-set?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shaded Summer Stamp Set<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something else that I used on this card is long over too: the retired, coordinating dies from January-February 2021 Sale-A-Bration, Shaded Summer Dies. If you don&#8217;t have these dies, you could fussy cut the flower image from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/shaded-summer-cling-stamp-set?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shaded Summer Stamp Set<\/a> using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/scissors-paper-snips?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paper Snips.<\/a> Another option would be to swap it out for a similar image with a matching die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watercolor Flowers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started first by stamping my floral image from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/shaded-summer-cling-stamp-set?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shaded Summer Stamp Set,<\/a> using third generation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/classic-stampin-pad-crumb-cake?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crumb Cake Ink<\/a> on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/basic-white-8-1-2-x-11-cardstock?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Basic White Cardstock<\/a>. Not sure what this means? After inking my stamp, I stamped off twice and used the third stamped image. I wanted a very light outline image to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112_232434.jpg?resize=800%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Stamping third generation ink with the Shaded Summer Stamp Set\" class=\"wp-image-2918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112_232434.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112_232434.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112_232434.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112_232434.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112_232434.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, I grabbed my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/watercolor-pencils?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watercolor Pencils<\/a>.

I used my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/stampin-cut-emboss-machine?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stampin&#8217; Cut &amp; Emboss Machine<\/a> with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/specialty-plate?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Specialty Plate<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/pale-papaya-8-1-2-x-11-cardstock?demoid=2116612\">Pale Papaya Cardstock<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112_234625.jpg?resize=800%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder\" class=\"wp-image-2920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112_234625.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112_234625.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112_234625.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112_234625.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211112_234625.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final elements of this card came together quickly. I love my punches for that very reason. Starting with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/treasured-tags-pick-a-punch?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Treasured Tags Pick A Punch<\/a>, I punched both ends of my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/pale-papaya-8-1-2-x-11-cardstock?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pale Papaya Cardstock<\/a> using the largest width allowance.

Instead of automatically adding layers to my Basic Gray Card Base, I began with the embossed piece of Pale Papaya. First, I adhered a piece of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/simply-elegant-specialty-designer-series-paper?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper<\/a>. Next, I added my white rim die cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211114_084411.jpg?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Assembling layers step 1\" class=\"wp-image-2924\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following in order, I adhered the circular shimmer vellum, adding tape only where it would be next covered by the Calypso Coral die cut piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211114_084453.jpg?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Assembling layers step 2\" class=\"wp-image-2925\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before I went any further, I added a strip of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/gray-granite-1-4-(6-4-mm)-shimmer-ribbon?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gray Granite 1\/4&#8243; Shimmer Ribbon<\/a> on the bottom third of my circular pieces. I wrapped the ends of the ribbon around the back of the Pale Papaya embossed cardstock and secured them with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/tear-tape-adhesive?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tear &amp; Tape Adhesive<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211114_084601.jpg?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Securing ribbon with Tear &amp; Tape\" class=\"wp-image-2926\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, it was just a matter of layering on the rest of my pieces. I tucked in the gray die cuts leaves and the shimmer vellum sprigs. Then, I centered my watercolor flowers over the Calypso Coral die cut. Next, I adhered my sentiment and added a bow from another length of the same ribbon. I placed my artistic ensemble on my card base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211114_085929.jpg?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A closer look at the card front layers.\" class=\"wp-image-2927\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a final bit of bling, I added some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/basic-pearl-jewels?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pearl Basic Jewels<\/a>. The elegance of pearls fits this card perfectly. I love the ease of adding small embellishments with my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/take-your-pick?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take Your Pick Tool.<\/a> Whether you use the spatula end or the putty end, the application is effortless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211114_090137.jpg?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Adding Pearl Basic Jewels to the card with the Take Your Pick Tool\" class=\"wp-image-2928\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meant To Be<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much like the sentiment says, some friendships are meant to be. And the color combo I used here is also meant to be. I was so happy mixing Calypso Coral and Basic Gray to Pale Papaya. This card made with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/shaded-summer-cling-stamp-set?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shaded Summer Stamp Set<\/a> is perfectly beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211114_091402.jpg?resize=800%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Finished card using Shaded Summer Stamp Set in Pale Papaya.\" class=\"wp-image-2931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211114_091402.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211114_091402.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211114_091402.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211114_091402.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211114_091402.jpg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211114_091402.jpg?w=1806&amp;ssl=1 1806w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211114_091402.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you haven&#8217;t seen any of the other In Color cards from this series, be sure to check them out.
