Keeshs Sketch Challenge

Well it certainly has been a while since I have had time to play along with one of Keesh's Challenges. This week was a Sketch challenge so what a perfect opportunity to get back into the swing of things...... I have used Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss for the colours. These are two of our new in colours for this catalogue season.....The stamp set I have used is Bloom Away which is a lovely Australian set. I water coloured with my blender pen and the Stamp pads onto watercolour paper. I also stamped the for you onto watercolour paper although on this picture it looks a different colour. I assure you that they are exactly the same IRL. I'd be liking the Good Morning Sunshine DS Paper as well. In actual fact there isn't to much I don't like in this new catalogue.....I had a little add up of my wish list tonite........Need I say anymore.......lol......

Bloom Away

Part of the perks of being a demonstator with stampin up is we get a pre-order to the new catalgoue which is where I got this Bloom Away set from. Speaking of the new catalgoue I just checked on the stampin up website and OMG my boxes of catalogues shipped yesterday!!!!! Being my rural location I am hoping that they will be here tomorrow....talk about pacing the floor in anticipation.....I am trying to be calm and just wait....... Ok onto the card......I have used Kraft cardstock for the background and stamped it with the weathered stamp in Sahara Sand. I then used mellow moss and some faux stitching. I stamped the banksia image onto watercolour paper with stazon on. I then used my markers and aqua painter to colour it in......I finished off with some ribbon from the theatre ribbon pack that is due to retire at the end of the month....OMG how exciting we are getting a new catalogue.......................
