Welcome to the Fancy Friday Blog Hop! I am so excited to be back stamping with my fancy friends! We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that have been or are currently on the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team. We love sharing our passion for creating with all of you and hope to inspire along the way.
This month we are mixing things up by showcasing products from both current Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue and the 2019 Holiday Catalogue. When new items come out it is hard not to get caught up in all of the shiny new things, so this is a great challenge to not forget about all the other great products. I focused on some of my old favourites and combined them with some new ones.
I thought it would be fun to use the amazing See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper (Annual Catalogue) on a Christmas card. It is one of my absolute favorite paper packs and I paired with a new favourite the Christmas Gleaming Bundle (Holiday Catalogue). I also used The Basic Pattern Decorative Masks, Snowflake Sequins and Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon (Holiday Catalogue) and the often forgotten Frost White Shimmer Paint (Annual Catalogue)
Using one of the decorative masks and a Sponge Dauber I inked Night of Navy on to the cardstock to create a tone on tone background pattern. The mask was also also used with Embossing Paste directly on to the patterned paper. Using an Auqa Painter I flicked on some of the shimmer paint and also sponged it on top of the embossing paste.
The ornament was stamped using Night of Navy Classic ink on to Shimmery White Cardstock. To create a watercoloured look to the image, I used the aqua painter with a small amount of shimmer paint and lightly blended the ink. I also stamped the ornament twice on Whisper White and die cut it using a circle from the Stitched Shapes (a must have from the Annual Catalogue!) then place another circle cut from Vellum Cardstock on top.
Hope my card encourages you to start mixing some old favourites with some new ones!
Next on the hop is incredible Marisa Gunn, I know you are going to love what she made!
