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

     Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great week so far. Today I have a special post for you...an Aim for Alaska new Stampin' Up! 2017-2018 Annual Catalog Sneak Peek Blog Hop! That's right. You will get to see a whole bunch of blogs with new product from the new catalog! Now as some of you know I suffer from some pretty severe back issues along with a few other things and so lately while I have been going on a reducing my meds roller coaster I have lost a lot of my crafty mojo. That is why I love new catalog time!! With all the new product we get to play with, and a lot of inspiration out there among the other demonstrators, it has helped so much.      Speaking of new product...that is exactly what I used to make my mom her Mother's Day card. I used the Delightful Daisy Suite from the new 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! Catalog. I got to work with this product at OnStage in April which was a blast and I ordered it in my Product Premiere Purchase order, a speci

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 embossing powders dependi
