Freshly Made Sketches #185 – Vivid Vases

I’m still loving playing along at Freshly Made Sketches and this weeks sketch is awesome…

Freshly Made Sketches 185

This card took me a while, mainly because I took it in a completely different direction to start with! I stamped the Vivid Vases onto Whisper White card stock first, and started to colour it with my Stampin’ Write markers – but something just wasn’t right, and currently when something’s not quite right, where do I go? Water! well, water on Whisper White doesn’t really work, well, not as well as it does on Watercolour paper anyway. So, I started again, this time stamping on watercolour paper and using my Stampin’ Write Markers to watercolour the vases.

Stampin' Up! UK Vivid Vases Freshly Made Sketches

I used Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry, and Marina Mist, to watercolour the vases, before using the same markers directly onto the paper to colour the flowers. I added some Pear Pizzazz for some added greenery before trimming and mounting onto some Dimensionals.

The two painted lines are from Work of Art, and are stamped in Bermuda Bay and Marina Mist. And I finished the card by stamping the sentiment from Vivid Vases using Memento Black ink

Vivid Vase

I will often alter the way I stamp an image, colouring only part of the stamp – or using my Stampin’ Write Markers to colour the stamp several different colours – and today is one of those cards.

Stampin' Up! UK Vivid Vases Thank you

I coloured a single vase from the Vivid Vases stamp using the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker, and used my trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the vase in the centre of the piece of Whisper White card stock. The vase is then coloured with Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Write Markers.

Speaking of Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush, and the other 2013-2015 In-Colours, they retired on the 2nd of June – So grab your ink refills and card stock NOW! before the full retiring list is released tomorrow! Unfortunately I am at work tomorrow, but will be blogging the list on Wednesday!

This card was finished with the ‘Thank You’ stamp from Big News.

You’re a Whole Lot of Wonderful!

I’m taking a little break from Christmas cards today, to bring you a card using the amazing Stampin’ Blendabilities!

I just love the Stampin’ Blendabilities; colouring in is just so therapeutic (I think its something about being in touch with my inner-child!)

Stampin' Up! Vivid Vases Wonderful Blendabilities

The Vivid Vases stamp is just perfect for your Blendability colouring. It has large open areas, perfect for blending and shading with markers (or any other medium you may choose).

I just love this stamp, its just so simple, but makes a great card front – no fussy required! and the sentiment is part of the stamp

This card is a Rich Razzleberry Card base, with a mat of Pear Pizzazz Subtles Collection Designer Series paper.

The Vivid Vases is stamped on Whisper White cardstock (for great blending when colouring with your Blendabilities!). I kept the colouring really simple here; the Rich Razzleberry assortment, Old Olive and Coastal Cabana. I haven’t even worked hard to get the perfect blend, and still the card looks amazing!

There are a number of great things about the Stampin’ Blendabilities; they are square so they dont roll off your desk, the caps are coloured for easy marker identification, your markers have both brush and felt tips for easy colouring, and they come in packs of three coordinating colours for super easy blending! There are loads more benefits to these alcohol markers, why not grab a set and try them out!
