Dragonfly Dreams Friend Watercolored Card - Kylie's Training Blog Hop


     Hello crafters! Today I am part of a fun and inspiring blog hop for you. Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the globe have come together again from Kylie's Facebook Demonstrator Training page to bring a lot of fun projects for you to be inspired to by and to get your creative mojo flowing. Stuck in a rut or haven't crafted in awhile? This blog hop will help! Today I have a card using a stamp set from the Annual catalog. Here it is.....

     I wanted to dragonflies to be the main standout on my card so I softly watercolored the background. I used the Watercolor Pencils to apply some color to the paper first, then used the Aqua Painter to blend the colors out so I had no harsh lines.

   I decided to die cut the dragonfly bunch using the Sparkle Glimmer paper. This added to the softness of my card. I then wound some Silver Metallic thread around my fingers and stuck it to the Dimensionals on the back. Finally I put sequins around the card front and stamped my sentiment.
   I kept the colors and the softness I wanted to the inside of my card too. Just some simple stamping and card making, but yet a very elegant card for the perfect friend. I hope you enjoyed my card today and please continue on in our blog hop today, you can see the list below. Thanks for coming and I hope to see you again soon!
Hugs,

Julie

Colorful Seasons Winter Card - Kylie's Demo Training Blog Hop

     Hello everyone! I'm Julie Kight and welcome to my blog. How is your week so far? Today for you I have a special treat...a blog hop! I am part of a special training group for Stampin' Up! demonstrators run by Kylie and Bruno Bertucci from Australia. They are such an amazing husband and wife team! For this blog hop I wanted something for the season and I had just seen this cool technique done by another demonstrator and wanted to try it myself.      The Colorful Seasons stamp set and Seasonal Thinlits are so versatile as they can be used for any season as there are stamps and dies for each one. To do the inking technique I used the Coastal Cabana reinker and the new Shimmer Paint from the Holiday Catalog. I dropped four drops of the paint on a piece of Watercolor Paper down one side and then I dropped one drop of the reinker on two of those paint drops. Then I took an old credit card and swiped across dragging the drops.      I u...

These hops are so fun because you can find inspiration and creativity from so many different people all over the globe. Lost your creative mojo or just don't where to get started then you need to check out each person on this hop to get those crafty ideas flowing. Here is my card.....      I was inspired to make this card from another card marker. I have always loved the Little Twinkle stamp set and knew that this was more then just for babies. By combining it with the Well Said Bundle I'm telling my loved one that our love was written in the stars.      I heat embossed the background first then watercolored it. This way I didn't have the watercoloring showing through the embossing from underneath. You could do this technique with any of the different e...
