It is a “Sneak Peek” Day! I am giving you a peek at one of the new stamp sets in the upcoming 2018 Occasions Catalog. An advantage to being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is that we get to pre-order from the new catalogs. It is like Christmas coming early!!!
The stamp set I am using is called Waterfront. But I made it into a mountain scene instead. I know….that sounds really odd. So please let me know what you think of my creation.
Waterfront, 144973
The card is a 4 X 4 base, but not a square layer. I had stamped everything before I decided to cut it down but could not cut the sides any further. So it is not squared and not your eyesight playing games with you.
I used almost all of the greens in the SU collection to make the scenery. I think it looks like some of the old time paintings with the white spaces. Or it looks like a child’s drawing, LOL!
The sky is made by using the sponge roller and Marina Mist. I like the texture the sponge roller gives for a sky. The punches are also new, well one of them is. The scalloped circle is one of two that are new to the 2018 Occasions Catalog as well. I love punches for quick and easy.
I added the linen thread wrapped around the card as a little rustic/masculine touch. I love giving some extra texture to my cards and this is a great way to do it.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.
