Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Embellished Ornaments Bundle

Hi!

Welcome to this week's CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop! Welcome from Tricia's blog.

This week the Blog Hop challenge is all about CASE-ing a project inspired by our favourite bundles  from Stampin' Up! Holiday catalogue.

CASE stands for Copy and Share Everything.  This whole blog hop is about using the current Stampin' Up! Catalogues to help you create.  Sometimes crafters need a springboard to just get started and the catalogues are certainly a demonstrator or customer's best resource.

My favourite bundle is the Embellished Ornaments bundle on page 15 of the Holiday Catalogue. It's beautiful!


I did a wash of Crumb Cake on a watercolour base and then, after it had dried, I stamped the holly image with Old Olive. I used a Pear Pizzazz marker to fill in the leaves making sure I wasn't too neat to keep true to the watercolour aesthetic. 

The ornament was stamped in Tempting Turquoise and then rolled on the edges with Island Indigo. I spritzed the rubber with some water before stamping onto watercolour paper which caused the inks to bleed and swirl. 

I couldn't help myself and I spritzed the card with some vintage SU product...the Gold Smooch Spritz from a few years ago...I stocked up on that big time! :) This card is so much prettier in real life. It has a golden sheen. :)

Here's my inspiration image:
