Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #65 - Stampin' Up! Blendabilities

Strawberry Slush #1


#ColorCoachJourney 


Hi

I am skipping the Color Coach combination of Calypso Coral and Crisp Cantaloupe, but I promise I will come back to it. :)

Today I was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and I really loved the Color Coach Combo of Strawberry Slush, Rich Razzleberry and Sahara Sand. I wanted to put my Rich Razzleberry Blendabilities to good use on the 'I Like You' stamp set, and what a great sketch this was to use it!

The recipe at Less is More this week is 'Anything Goes'...just have fun...and I certainly did! :)



If anything, I think this card really highlights the difference between a blender pen/marker and a blendabilities pen. The Rich Razzleberry is coloured with the Blendabilities and the Strawberry Slush flower was coloured with a blender pen dipped in the ink pad and then highlighted with the marker....albeit not fantastically. You can see how smooth and blended the Rich Razzleberry flower is compared to the Strawberry Slush which is just a bit blotchy really. Oh well, I still like the overall effect. :)

Hope you like it too. 

Cheers
Alison xx

Stampin' Up! - Under the Big Top - Sunny Challenges & Creations



Hello yet again...yes two blog posts in one day!

I made this card for my friend's little girl who is turning 4 and was inspired to break out the "Under the Big Top" stamp set by the sketch & stamp challenge set by Sunny Challenges & Creations this week. Here's the sketch:

..and here's the stamp set:This stamp set is great for colouring either with a blender pen and your inkpads or using the aquapainters on watercolour paper. For this card, I used my blender pen and picked up the colour from the lid of the inkpad...it's really quick and very effective! Such cute images in this stamp set!...and as you can see I managed to sneak in some red glimmer paper again. :)

I got this stamp set for free at the Stampin' Up! regional training day held last year....one of the many perks of being a demo is you get to go to these great days where you meet other demos and learn some amazing techniques....and you get free stuff! Contact me if you have ever thought of becoming a demonstrator....now is a great time....the starter kit is reduced from $289 to $249 and if you sign up during 'Sale-A-Bration' (24 January - 31 March) you get your pick of ANY stamp set in the current catalogues...of ANY value!....AAAAND you have until the end of June to reach your minimum $400 in sales. It's such a great time to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator!!

Anyway...I guess you want to see the card huh?! :)



I love the ballerina bear - so CUTE!!

I want to point out that before I ever got the Stampin' Up! Mat Pack & Paper Piercer, my brads were always crooked...they were never exactly lined up. The Mat Pack stencil fixes EVERYTHING! Look how lovely & straight they are on this card!? Put it on your ordering list! Don't argue! :)

Bye for now!
