you are a Stampin' Up! demonstrator located in Australia or New Zealand, then please feel free to leave me a comment with your Email address and I'll contact you with information on how to join our wonderful group.

Now onto my project I have made 3 cards using 3 of the images from the Hostess stamp set Bloom With Hope. All the flower images in this set are perfect for colouring with our fabulous new Blendabilities Markers.  I stamped all 3 images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, then used the Oval Framelits on all three cards.

I have used Rich Razzleberry and Old olive Blendibilities on my 1st card with some of the new 1/4" (6.4mm) Rich Razzleberry ribbon. 
  

My 2nd card is in one of the new 2014 / 2016 In Colors Tangelo Twist, I have used the Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive Blendibilities, the pearls were coloured with one of Daffodil Delight Blendibilities. The  edge round the Vintage Designer Button was coloured with one of the Old Olive Bledibilities.

On my 3rd card I stamped 2 of the images from Work of Art. the background is stamped 3 times without reinking keeping it very simple, then the leaf image is stamped over it in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. the second image is stamped twice at the bottom of the page. I have then used the Whisper White 1/4"  (6.4mm) cotton ribbon with an  Antique Brad around the Bow.

Travelling The High Seas

We had our Creative Inker's team training a couple of weeks ago , a fabulous day as always, we usually do a card swap between us, I used the Traveler stamp set from the 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue, below is the card I made, in actual fact I made 25 of them, which is how many Demonstrator's were swapping.
The Technique I used on this card is called Watercolour Wash, add ink to a clear block using your Ink pads (I used 3 Colours) spritz with water (not to much) then place onto a piece of card stock let that dry before stamping your image, each card will turn out with a slightly different background.
