Crafting Retreat






I went to a crafting retreat that a fellow demonstrator put on this past weekend. I thought I would take a few minutes and share with you all the projects that we made. We learned all about water coloring and the different techniques behind all of that. We spritzed and used our aqua painter. I personally like using the aqua painter best because I felt like I had more control of my project that way. Most of the product we used can be found in our occasions catalog or it was a free item from Saleabration. What I thought was nice that near the end of the night this demonstrator gave us all a free stamp set of our choosing that was on our table. The stamps that we were able to choose were from the projects we worked on earlier in the day. I chose the tea pot set and that is the stamp set I used in the tea pot card you see previously. We also heat embossed with a watercolor background.

  I am trying to challenge myself. So I have decided to participate in the card/color challenges you would see around the web. One blog I found that had a color challenge was this. Stylin' Stampin Inspiration You can find more info if you follow the link. The color scheme they had was Rich Razzleberry, Hello Honey and Calypso Coral. This is what I came up with. I used the Four Feather Stamp Set from the Holiday Catalog as well as the framelits that you can get in a bundle. I also used Blended Bloom and colored it with Calypso Coral Blendabilities.  In the picture of the 2 cards I had done that card for Creative Challenge Club .

  Lately,I have been on a kick to participate in challenges. I am finding that I am enjoying the color challenges the best. This is the card that I made for Pals Paper Arts . This challenge closes tomorrow Sept 9th at 9:00 am PST. If your wanting to join you still have time! The colors they called for was Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey and Crumb Cake. I am really enjoying playing with my For All Things stamp set and Color me Autumn.  You can find those in the Holiday Catalog. If you are in need of one please let me know and I will be happy to send you one.  I liked the double stamp look. I think that is what it is called even though it was two different stamps and not the same one. If you’d like to try your hand in making this here’s the supply list. Thanks for looking and have a great day! Till next time! Crumb Cake Ink  126975 Blackberry Bliss  Ink  133642 Hello Honey  Ink  133643 For All Things Stamp Set   135155 Color me Autum...
