Can you believe we are nearing the end of May! We always say this but…. the year is just flying! As do the days between the Stampin’ Up! Artisan blog hops, each Thursday is a highlight as the design team all gather and share a creation using product that Stampin’ Up! have selected for us to highlight, this month it has been items from the upcoming 2015/2016 Stampin’ Up! Catalogue which goes on sale June 2nd in all markets.
I always find new stamps and toys accessories give me a new creative boost, I am in LOVE with this upcoming catalogue, one of my fave stamp sets is this flower image I have watercoloured from “You’re Got This” I also used it {HERE} I plan on using a background image also in the set a LOT more… just wait until you see the full set. #YouWillLoveItAlso
The second stamp set I used for the thanks greeting is a hostess set called “Silhouettes & Script” I am a massive fan of the old school label style font and have been praying that Stampin’ Up! design something with that inspiration.
I very recently discovered a product in the catalogue called White Shimmer Paper, it is hard to believe I over looked this item for SO long…. well until it was demonstrated at convention last month and {blush} thought it was a new product until a few of the girls in my team corrected me {to their delight}. I have taken a photo to show that delightful shimmer over my surface. It is also great for watercolouring on, I white embossed my image then watercoloured with a Aqua Painter in Blackberry Bliss, which has given the most wonderful tone to the petals, a little Hello Honey/Smokey Slate mix to the center and Old Olive to the leafs, you may not be able to see but I have a very light wash in Smoky Slate around the image like a halo, it is just a small detail but has made the image POP.
The next Artisan to visit is Vicky

Hi Teneale – wow, what a great job you did creating bevelled borders around the cards. Perhaps its trick photography but I doubt it. Love this small detail. I adore the card and am thinking you should brand yourself. 🙂 Love the halo effect, of course.
