Did you hear me shouting with glee yesterday? Thankfully, my UPS guy arrived at 9:40 a.m. and even carried my box of goodies into the house for me. After tearing into the box, I immediately got to work because I only had 2 hours to create. I felt pressure because I would not be back home until about 10:00 p.m.
This card actually is giving you peeks at 4 new products. Can you find all of them? I'll list them for you.
1. new stamp – Blended Bloom
2. Colored with the new Blendabilities
3. The dsp mat is from the new Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack.
4. The ribbon is 3/8" Stitched Satin Hello Honey
I can hardly wait for you to be able to order the new Blendabilities. Just remember that because they are alcohol based markers, stamp your image in a water based ink like Memento Black Ink. The reason – your image will bleed if you use an alcohol based ink like Staz On.
More good news. Just use Whisper White cardstock. It works perfectly and you can go over the color as much as you need in order to blend the colors.
When coloring, use small circular strokes because it allows you to pull the color as you go. When I am allowed. I will post a video showing the technique.
I hope you have enjoyed this peek. You know that I will be posting more throughout the week so be sure to stop back! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. As always, your comments are important to me. I read each and every one and I look forward to them. If you have time, please consider leaving a comment.
Hugs,
Ginger
Can’t wait to get my box tomorrow, I have three sets of the pens coming and so looking forward to playing:). Love your card.
This is a beautiful card! I haven’t seen the new catalog yet but your sneak peek has me drooling with anticipation!
Whoa Ginger! Beautiful flower!
BEAUITIFUL , thanks for the great tips !!!
Hugs frenchie
Beautiful card! I look forwrd to the bendabilities!
Oh my! I like this card, the flower, the ribbon, the DSP etc. It all looks fabulous together. I’m anxious to get my hands on the Blendabilities, with some instruction from my Demonstrator!
WOW~ This is gorgeous! Love all of the details. I have used the CTMH alcohol markers but I didn’t do a very good job. I guess I only tried a few times. But, I will be game and try these too. Finally, I know why you don’t use Staz On! I saw that everyone said to use the Memento brand but didn’t state why! Looking forward to your video eventually! Good to know about the type of paper too. Love this card! You did a fantastic job on it! I am behind on my E-mail reading so I had better keep going!
Exquisite card it took my breath away! I can hardly wait to get some of the new product to try out. Guess I better use some old product first though. You did this card in less than 2 hrs. I’m in awe!
Gorgeous! I’m glad S.U. Has come out with new products such as the alcohol inks. You sure have a lot of talent!
