Stamping With Friends - My Favourite Suite

Saturday, 20 August 2022

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop as we share what projects we are currently working on to inspire you! You will be visiting with our Design Team Members as they share their wonderful projects and ideas to help spark your creativity. This time our theme is our favourite suite from the Stampin' Up! July to December Mini Catalogue. Mine favourite is the Boughs of Holly Suite.

I created this card for a recent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Watercolour Class where I was so honoured to be presenting! I call this technique Abstract Watercolouring. I've shared other cards using this technique with the Perfect Pomegranate Stamp Set. I really love how this card turned out especially as I added the Gilded Leafing which is my favourite embellishment to play with!
