Fairy Celebration Watercolour Card

As I am a new Stampin' Up! demonstrator, it is taking me a while to build up my supplies. I love the versatility of being able to match different stamp sets with designer series papers from different suites. Creating of stack of projects with a small amount of product.

I created this card using the Fairy Celebration stamp set with the Festive Farmhouse designer series paper and matching cardstock which is in the holiday catalogue.

The fairy image was stamped on water colour paper with black Stazon ink and water coloured with the aqua painter. The image was a little tricky to colour as it has fine lines but the thin brush on the aqua painter did the trick. I don't have any brown ink as yet to colour the tree branch so I mixed some calypso coral and balmy blue inks together. The inks I have used to colour the image are: so saffron, mossy meadow, petal pink, blushing bride and cherry cobbler.

The card measurements are:

card base - an A4 sheet of card stock cut in half, then folded in half
dsp layer - 4" x 5 3/4"
water colour card stock layer - 3" x 3 1/4"
mossy meadow card stock layer - 3 1/4" x 3 1/2"
sentiment layer - 2" x 1/2"

You can find all of the supplies listed here in our current annual and holiday catalogue links on the right hand side of this page.

I hope that you find time for some crafting today. Suzanne xx

Easy Slider Card

My life sure is a roller coaster ride, home schooling two young children, one of whom has special needs.

Snow globe shaker card featuring new holiday products!

Not long to go until the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue 2019-2020 is released. One of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is I am able to pre-order new product before they are available to order. I couldn't wait to make this shaker card featuring the new Still Scenes bundle and coordinating products. At first I was trying to imagine how to line everything up so that the snow globe shaker dome fit in the die cut aperture, but once I began to work on the project it was a fairly easy process.
