Using Watercolour Pencils on the Blended Seasons Flowers - Video

Hello, Crafters.

Yesterday was the first day I felt that jet lag was now 

history............thank goodness! It's great to be back! LOL! 

 I've had a lot of pleasure using the Blended Seasons

 Stamp Set which is on Promotion during August. 

To colour the card which led to this design I used Coastal

 Cabana and Granny Apple Green, which are two of ten

 new colours available during August as part of

 the same promotion. 

Stampin' Up! have said that while the stamp set and 

co-ordinating dies are only available until 31st August, or

 while stocks last, the watercolour pencils may be 

brought forward at some time!  I hope they are because

 it's a great collection of colours. 

I came up with the design for the Coastal Cabana card 

because I wanted to show the stunning effect you get 

with the shaped dies in the co-ordinating Stitched

 Seasons Framelits. 

As I was adhering the card together I wondered what the

 card would look like if I popped the centre up on Dimensionals.

 As there was only one way to find out the answer, I went

 ahead and did it............and loved the effect! 

The only part I didn't like about the first card was the

 sentiment because I thought it was too big. Therefore, 

I chose GET WELL SOON from the Apron of Love 

Stamp Set for the Cherry Cobbler Card, and HAPPY

 BIRTHDAY from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set

 for the Gorgeous Grape card.

  Although it doesn't show up in the photographs nor

 the video, I painted the flowers on these last two cards 

using Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen. It does show in 

real life and it adds so much to the card.

I hope you have a very blessed Sunday, and until

 tomorrow, happy crafting.
