This paper coordinates really well with one of my favourite stamp sets from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue, and that is......

Dragonfly Dreams #142924

 but the joy continues as you can get coordinating Thinlits dies and save 10% by purchasing the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle #144728.

I've had a couple of water colour card classes this week and we all enjoyed the colouring. I really loved that each person's card turned out with it's own personality.

This is the card I made for the sample.

We used the new Water Colour Pencils from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue with an Aqua Painter. You can also use a Blender Pen to blend the colour if you prefer more control.

The lace at the base is actually a stamp - one of the free sets from the SAB catalogue - Delicate Details. this has been heat embossed with white embossing powder and is very realistic.

The greeting is made with 2 stamps from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set  positioned together on a clear block and stamped onto vellum.

If you live in Australia and would like to take advantage of the Sale-A-Bration promotion you can order at my on-line store. While you are there don't forget to look at the Clearance Rack for even more bargains.

Give colouring a try - it is so relaxing and I know you will love it. If you would like some instruction I am having a special water colouring class on January 24th. Contact me if you are interested in attending. Learn to colour like a pro!

Until Next Time

Dragon Fly Dreams With A Little Bokeh

Hi and Happy New Year for 2017.

I've been a little quiet on my blog this last month, as I've been enjoying some family time, a little interstate travel, Christmas and New Year. Now, however it is time to wow you all with some samples from the new Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue that will be on sale from January 4th. If you would like a catalogue please request one from my Demonstrator website fill in your request in the contact form and I'll send it to you. 

The new Occasions Catalogue is full of fabulous BUNDLES. You save 10% when purchasing 2 products in a bundle and  one of the first Bundles I purchased was the Dragon Fly Bundle consisting of The Dragonfly Dreams stamp set (#142924) and the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies (#142749) 

Dragonfly Bundle number is 144728.

I combined stamping, die cutting and Designer Series paper together for this card.

One of my favourite Designer Series Papers is the Serene Scenery 15.2 cm square Paper Stack. In this card I used the bokeh image as the main background to my card. I stamped the Dragonfly in Old Olive and then stamped it off to produce a lighter image. Don't you just love the delicate lines in this stamped image?

I cut the Black dragonfly from Black Glimmer Paper. You can see how it shimmers in the detail photo below.

I added a greeting from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set - love that script, and stamped that using Memento Black on Thick Whisper White card stock. This was a bit stark against the rest of the card so I used my usual method of softening and area by stamping off a part image (dragonfly) and sponging very lightly around the edges. I matted the greeting with Black Glimmer paper and raised it on Dimensionals. The dragonfly is also raised with Dimensionals

This particular card is a Pop Up Twist Card with a base of Thick Whisper White.

I hope you like my first sample from the new Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue. Pop back often to see more samples. You are going to love this catalogue - it is so diverse and so gorgeous. 

Until Next Time
