Hello again to everyone. We are a group of fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators, but more importantly a group of great friends, who have decided to do a little blog hop that showcases some beautiful colour combinations found in the Colour Coach (available for purchase in the current catalogue).
The colour combination that I have chosen for this project is Pink Pirouette, Sahara Sand and Always Artichoke. I think these soft colours look beautiful together.
For my project I have created a set of drawers (perfect for those little gifts for someone special) that showcases an easel style card on the top. This easel is perfect for showcasing a special photo of your loved ones.
Since attending our annual Stampin' Up! convention this year in Melbourne, I have been wanting to try the bleaching technique on one of my projects. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to try it. I used the Elements of Style stamp set and clear embossed it onto my cardstock. Using my aqua pen which contained bleach, I coloured in the parts of the image that I wanted to highlight with the bleach. I'm not sure if it comes up clearly in the photo, but I really love the effect it has.
You may have just come from the wonderfully creative Christine Blain's blog, but if you are starting here, don’t worry, you can make the complete journey just by following the links at the end of each post.
There are 7 stops along the way this time and we hope you will visit each one to see the wonderful creations we have to show you! Please feel free to leave a comment. I would love to hear what you think about my project.
I hope you enjoy the ride.
Sorry about the quality of the photo's. I really do need a better camera (and better lighting lol)
Well, that's all from me. I hope you have enjoyed this months project. Thank you for looking. Now you're off to enjoy the stunning creations of Di Dunk.
See you next time xx
Kris, this is so cute!! Lovely project, hon, and I'm glad the link to your blog now works (I was getting anxious when I couldn't check out your gorgeous creation!). Christine xx
