Mini Catalogue Sneak Peek - Angels of Peace

 Very soon we will welcome the new Mini Catalogue from Stampin' Up!® And this week in the Freshly Brewed Projects blog Hop, we are giving you a sneak peek of some of the exciting new products.

This catalogue focuses on holidays and events for the next few months and my favourite time of the year (along with lots of other crafters) is Christmas.

I have chosen to create a card using the gorgeous Angels of Peace stamp set. As soon as I saw it  I knew I wanted to try to create an ethereal image using a water-colour technique. I could just see this beautiful image floating so I used re-inkers and the water painters from Stampin' Up!® on some Fluid 100 water colour paper.

Just a drop of re-inker in a palette will give you plenty of colouring options and for this project I chose Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay,  Pacific Point,  Daffodil Delight and Polished Pink. When using these strong colours they lose a lot of their intensity when watered down and I was hoping to match them well with the stunning Shimmer Vellum (p. 135 AC) I've used the Fresh Freesia Shimmer Vellum - it is so beautiful.

 This is my card.

I stamped with Basic Black as I cannot use Stazon, and then applied the colour  with a very wet brush. I did not try to "colour in" this image for this project, but I'm sure some different and exciting results will be achieved by using Stampin' Blends, Watercolor Pencil, or Soft Pastels. I also added a touch of Wink of Stella to the outside of the wings - it goes perfectly with the Shimmer Vellum!

I love the water marks left when adding different layers to the project and as you can see in this photo I also like to add a little yellow to any skin  that I'm colouring. I find it gives a more realistic look when viewed from a distance.

To enhance the image I added a Silver Foil mat, then a Shimmer Vellum mat onto the card front. Lots of products used in this project but so much fun to do.
