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

New online classes launched

With the kids off to school this week I am jumping back into blogging and tutorials. I have added online classes to my schedule this year but before I explain all of that, here is my first tutorial for 2020. I have used the Timeless Tropical bundle and Sailing Home stamp set to create this silhouette card. This reminds me of my first overseas trip to Fiji in 2018 for my brothers wedding. I created the background using the sponge brayer and three inks - grapefruit grove, so saffron and petal pink. The palm trees, birds and sentiment are stamped in memento black ink. I love being able to mix and match different stamp sets and I think the birds look great on this card. To see how I've put this all together, view the time lapse video below. All of the measurements and supplies are listed in the video description. New Online Classes I have been asked by several customers if I could create online classes in 2020, so here they are!
