Today's card is another sneak peek from the upcoming 2014-2015 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. It's also a stamp set that only about 450 demonstrators in the US have in their possession - it was one of the "Favorite Things" that was given out on Monday night at the Catalog Premiere "After Party".
This card was actually the first card I was going to make when I sat down to play with my new toys from the premiere then I realized that it would be fun to color the typewriter with the Blendabilities! I knew that I only had about an hour to wait for the UPS man to show up - and I was right! I used the Daffodil Delight collection of Blendabilities and the new Memento Ink (a must have when working with the Blendabilities).
It is so FUN AND EASY to use the Blendabilities. I'm not a watercolorer. I get streaks and I can't seem to get any shading. WELL....problem solved! Blendabilities come in packs of 3 shades of the color. Depending upon the color, the "true" SU color could be any of the light, medium, or dark shades. It doesn't matter which you start with - you can go from dark to light or light to dark. You can go back over them and blend. It's AMAZING! You'll probably be seeing me color a bit more going forward.
This card is also cased from the new catalog. It's actually a simplified version of the one SU created. With the exception of the stamp set and Blendabilities, everything else I used to create this card is available for purchase now:
