In our afternoon session at the reunion we used an inspiration card by Dawn McVey - you can see the original card and how she achieved such fabulousness on her blog here. When Dawn first posted this card Pam thought it was fantastic and so do I!
We had lots of flower stamp sets on the table and some watercolour pencils and Stampin Up watercolour crayons to help us achieve "the look"!
Julie used Happy Hydrangea for her super card....
Fiona used Happiness in Bloom for her art card....
Mary choose Natural Beauties for her two step stamping with pretty embellishments .....
Pam went for Happy Hydrangea with some extra sparkle ....
Sue - who "doesn't do flowers" choose Funky Florals as she thought they looked the least like flowers! ....
I have to admit that I totally cheated with my card and wimped out on the water colouring but I had a good reason - I was like a cat on a hot tin roof all day waiting to hear if I was offered a new job I had two interviews for earlier in the week! It's kind of hard to create when you have a sick feeling in the pit of your tummy because you want something so much!
I used an aqua mist card base and over stamped it with the music background in fine linen and swiped some chai distress ink, then added some die cut and stamped dahlia's which I coloured with crayons ....
Well I got the call and it was good news - so here we are enjoying champagne cocktails to celebrate!
Many thanks everyone for such a lovely day - can't wait until Stamp a Faire later in the month when I hope we can do it all again.
