For those who are new to the Stamp Review Crew, here is a little background. We are an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that gets together on the first and third Mondays of every month to do a blog hop. Each hop features a single stamp set to give you loads of inspiration for that set! The hops are archived at the Stamp Review Crew blog, and you will be able to click through each hop at any time, going directly to the posts for that hop whenever you want! And you can click on the banner of this post to go to the master blog roll for this hop also.
If you are following along in order, you just arrived from Charlet Mallett's blog. She is on the 2018 Artisan Design Team, so I am sure we will be seeing lots of amazing things from her in the next year! Congrats Charlet!
I couldn't resist doing some watercolor, and the stitched outline star image was perfectly suited for my watercolor play! White heat embossed images on a watercolor panel, a dilute Smoky Slate background wash, and some bright colors, and bingo-presto! All done! I was careful to wait for adjacent sections to dry before adding a new color.
I used all the same colors, and the small filler images on the inside.
This card combines sentiments from three sets: Christmas Quilt, the SAB Happy Wishes, and Heartfelt Sympathy inside. More rainbow action going on here!
I bet you didn't think of this set as a sympathy set, did you?
There is the inside. Subtle and simple is best, I find, for a sympathy card.
Here they are together, in case you want to pin it all at once 😎
