ESAD Sneak Peek Blog Hop


Time for another ESAD Blog Hop, this time to provide a sneak peek for the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue that goes live on 2nd June.  As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I get to see and purchase new product before it is available for general purchase.

For the blog hop I chose to use the lovely You've Got This, a beautiful flower image, three sentiments and a really cool background stamp.  I wanted to have the focus of the card the beautiful water coloured flower, so I have left a sentiment off this card. To really make this pop I stamped and embossed the flower image on water colour paper using Versamark and gold embossing powder.  I chose Watermelon Wonder and Hello Honey to colour the flower, I just love water-colouring and I forgot how much fun it is until I went visiting another stamping friend  a couple of weeks ago.


I also stamped the background using embossing powder and fussy cut the flower, raising it on Dimensionals.  I am so happy with the way this card turned out.

Now it is time to hop on over and see what Courtney has created, and keep hopping around each blog until you get back to where you started from.






Happy Stamping
Monique

    What a lovely card. I love the way the 2 ink colours mixed when you water coloured. Another stamp set I didn't know I needed until now!

    Love your card Monique. I would never have thought to do the gold embossing, but it looks amazing. And your water colouring skills are perfect. It is so beautifully blended. Thanks so much for sharing.
