Something Saturday - Watercolour Pencils on Black

Image
Hi there Creators Today I'm showing off how you can make the watercolour pencils really pop on a black background. when you use them this way you don't add water or anything else, just simply use them as pencils. This is the first card I made before the video: I've used the Celebratory Sips Suite (see links below) for both of these cards Then I made this one up in the video, and finished it off after, by adding some greenery around the bottom, the sayings and I wanted to create a graduated background paper to kind of give a sunset appearance, so to to that I've brushed darker colours onto the Pumpkin Pie cardstock to deepen it nearer the bottom. Here is a list of the products I used: Celebratory Sips Collection (I recommend getting the whole lot 'cos it's worth it!) but if you don't want it all, then, then in fact the only part I used here is: Cheers & Sips Stamp set Watercolour Pencils Assortment 1 Watercolour Pencils Assortment 2 If you missed the vid...

Something Saturday - Look what's retiring

 Hi There Creators

Today we're taking a look at some of the goodies that will be retiring from the Annual Catalogue (specifically ones that I currently own!)  I go through them in the video and mention if they're being discounted on 9th April, but bear in mind if you specifically want something, sometimes it's best not to wait, as things can be sold out before you realise it!  Here is the retiring list for the Annual Catalogue: Last Chance Annual Catalogue List

The Mini Catalogue is also retiring, but I haven't focused on that today, maybe I should next week, we'll see.....  anyway here is the retiring list for the Mini Catalogue:  Last Chance Mini Catalogue List

(I'm really hoping those links work!)  there is a heap retiring and it's worth checking if it was bundled whether the bundle is still cheaper or if it's worth purchasing the individual items separately if they've both been reduced to less than the bundle price (if that makes sense?) 

Anyway I'm not going to list them all now, I'll just show you what I created at the end of the video with the absolutely gorgeous Artisitically Inked Stamp set (being reduced from $42 to $29.40) , and although I didn't use them for these cards, the Artistic dies are being reduced from $61 to $30.50! (bargain!!)

I accidentally stamped the saying on a "wonk) so then had to stamp a whole heap more to make it look authentic 🤣  I mentioned in the video I felt it needed a bit of bling, so I've actually used some of the gorgeous Gilded Leafing, which is sadly also retiring (going from $15.75 to $7.87)  recommend you watch a video on using this before you open the container!  pretty sure this one here tells you about it: Artistically Inked with Gold Gilded Leafing

Look whats retiring April 24, Stampin' Up!
wasn't sure how well the gilded leaf would show up so I took a close up too 😁
Look whats retiring April 24, Stampin' Up!
Then after the video I thought I should probably use some of the retiring inks too....  so this one uses all the retiring In Colour Inks (and now I realise how much I actually like Orchid Oasis!)  Anyway retiring In colours are: Sweet sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis.
Look whats retiring April 24, Stampin' Up!
And again just in case it didn't show up well in the big photo the bling: 2022 - 2024 In Colour Pearls (which incidentally are going from  $12.25 to $6.12)  sooo pretty......
Look whats retiring April 24, Stampin' Up!
I hope you get the chance to check out the lists, and if you're not on my email list to receive these and other things, let me know!

Here is the video in case you missed it:

 


Hope these inspire you to create

God Bless love
