My most recent creation

All Stampin' Up! demonstrators received the Level 3 hostess set, "Time Well Spent," back in November or December (can't remember which). At first, I really didn't like it much; it's not really my style. However, I started playing with it, and the more I played with it the more I liked it. I created this card and actually sent it to Stampin' Up! for one of their monthly contests. I didn't win, though... :( Oh well, at least I had fun creating it! I used Purely Pomegranate card stock for the card base and 1/2" strips of Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Almost Amethyst, and Barely Banana card stocks for the background. I stamped the images on Whisper White card stock in Jet Black Stazon Ink and watercolored them using my Watercolor Wonder Crayons and an aqua painter. I finished the card by adding a rhinestone brad to the center of the flower, tying some Whisper White grosgrain ribbon around the card, and popping the images up on dimensionals. I also added a row of dots with Stampin' Up!'s white gel pen (the best on the market!). I'm somewhat watercolor-challenged, so forgive me if the image seems like it has no color. It really does, I promise. I did darken it up before I sent it to Stampin' Up!; I just forgot to take a picture of it after that...
