SAIL AWAY, SAIL AWAY, SAIL AWAY ….

I’m definitely channeling music from my much younger years [a recent post alluded to Marty Rhone – ‘Denim & Lace’ and now today’s offering].

WHY?

Well, I wanted to use SWIRLY BIRDS to create my own boat … I have seen so many amazing nautical projects using this new stamp set!

… and, I also wanted to imagine I was the artistic sort … using PAINTER’S PALETTE … and here is my piece of art!

I can imagine a boat being named “CAREFREE”.

I know that I am definitely going to need to order a lot more Dapper Denim cardstock while it is available as one of the 2016-2018 In Colour palette.

ANOTHER SKETCH CHALLENGE CARD …

It has been raining today … a perfect opportunity to spend some time creating.

As well as working on projects for my catalogue launch event [19th June] I thought that would create another card for the Global Design Project sketch challenge …  #GDP038.

Make sure you click on the GDP sketch challenge image to see all the amazing cards that have been shared … a brilliant source of inspiration!

I wanted to play with some new products from the recently released Stampin’ Up! 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue …

I have used all of the new 2016-2018 In Colours …. Dapper Denim – Emerald Envy – Flirty Flamingo – Peekaboo Peach – Sweet Sugarplum … and chose Dapper Denim and Peekaboo Peach as my cardstock elements.

It is not easy to see that the ribbon I have used is ruched … one of the new ribbons now available in the In Colour family.

I have also used two of the latest stamp sets found in the new catalogue … they are both photopolymer stamp sets … I love the way that I can be so accurate in positioning multiple stamps when I use the photopolymers!

The stamp sets used are PERFECTLY WRAPPED and THOUGHTFUL BANNERS.

GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT #038 – SKETCH CHALLENGE

Like many of you, I have followed a variety of card design challenges for quite a while and been in awe of the amazing projects other Stampin’ Up! demonstrators create.

… and I thought it was time to ‘throw my hat into the ring’, so to speak.

So, here is the sketch challenge for #GDP038… and my creation …

I have been having so much fun playing with the Swirly Birds Stamp Set and love the new 2016 – 2018 In Colours – especially Dapper Denim [if you’re old enough and Australian, you might appreciate I avoided a Marty Rhone moment … no lace].
