Forever Young Water-colour Wash

Happy Halloween! A rainy Halloween in Vancouver. Using water as our theme in our Creative Wednesday project I feature the water-colour wash technique. 

 With this project, I tried a colour combo that I have never used before. The Summer Starfruit ribbon shines vibrantly with the Midnight Muse colour. The colours for the water-colour wash are Daffodil Delight, Baja Breeze and Marina Mist.

Birds of a Feather

Birds have been a trend for a while now but the Designer Series Paper (DSP) Birds of a Feather introduces a new approach to reinventing the bird trend to the world of crafting. The birds in this DSP are made into cute cartoon-like birds in soft subtle colours yet leaves a chic style that is easy on everyone's eyes. 

As my Creative Wednesday showcase, I am revealing the other Stamp Club card I did last week. Using a strip of the Birds of a Feather DSP, I added the marbling effect to the paper.  I added texture embossing and bordered the paper with the scallop punch. To complete the card I added the four frames stamp and embellished as shown.

Thanks for joining me for another Creative Wednesday! Come back next week for more!

Marbling Evergreen Christmas

Thank you for joining me for another Creative Wednesday. Today's feature is another technique stamp club class project we crafted last night. (This month's class was moved up to a few weeks).

For this month's technique, we used the marble effect for the background. It is a quick, fun and mess free technique. Even for a dirty-hands-free-crafter like me found this technique quite fun. I really love the Evergreen stamp set. This time I embossed the Evergreen tree in gold for a nice metallic look to contrast the marbled background.

Christmas Craft Tag

I don't know how much I've been stressing on keeping Christmas cards and projects as simple as you can as I am sure you have many other holiday things to do before the big day. So here I am again presenting to you today my Creative Wednesday project.

I crafted a simple Christmas craft tag using the elegant tree from the Forever Young stamp set. Keeping the card in monotone color and adding a little bit of spark with the Cherry Cobbler red to complete this chic Christmas tag.

I hope you enjoyed this week's Creative Wednesday project. Be sure to check back next Wednesday for another Creative Wednesday reveal.
