Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue Blog Hop

Hi!

Welcome back to another blog hop.  This month my friends and I are concentrating on the new products in the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue.  You can view a copy of the catalogue online by clicking on the picture of the catalogue in my sidebar.

You may have hopped to my blog from the talented Amanda Hill's blog.  It doesn't really matter where you start, just keep on hoppin' 'til you get back to where you started.  You're bound to find lots of creative inspiration to feast your eyes on! 

I have two cards for your viewing pleasure today. The first was made using some of the new products for the Big Shot - Framelits and Edgelits.  They are fantastic, wafer thin dies that open up a whole lot of new possibilities for papercrafting.


It's little tricky to see, but I have embossed the Whisper Whiter layer with the coordinating Adorning Accents Embossing Folder.  The framelit acts beautifully as a feature panel.


A scrap of the Pocketful of Posies DSP left over from the front and a piece of Baker's Twine finish off the inside of the card.

I made the second card after viewing a video on Bee Divine Designs on water colouring with markers and a blender pen.  I love the control it gives, so I think I'll be using this technique a lot more in the future.  I used the gorgeous new stamp set, Bordering On Romance.  It's such a pretty set, and perfect for colouring.  I also used some of the new Twitterpated DSP which coordinates beautifully with the Bordering On Romance stamp set.


Here's a closer look at the water colouring.  Did you notice the seam binding?  I coloured some Very Vanilla ribbon with my Island Indigo reinker to achieve this look.


I finished this card the same way as the first, with the addition of another water coloured bunch of flowers.  it was my 'practice run' and I didn't want to waste the effort!
