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.

JanB.
