Beautiful Moments Team Colour Challenge

Beautiful Moments Team Colour Challenge. You may already know that we have a few colour challenges going on in the Team at the moment. The idea is that anyone in the Team can post a photo of their project using the colours selected and who ever gets the most comments and likes gets to pick the next set of colours. We are having such fun with this challenge. Some of the colour combinations are more of a ‘challenge’ than others. This weeks I really enjoyed. Sahara Sand, Petal Pink and Seaside Spray.

Beautiful Memories Team Colour Challenge OldStablesCrafts.co.uk

I pulled an old favourite stamp set for this week. Beautiful Moments is such a soft set, with the most beautiful images, it seemed perfect for this set of colours. They are all close to being pastel shades, so it seemed a match made in heaven. I hope you will agree that it is!

Because I wanted a colour wash behind the focal image, I decided to use our Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper. In doing so, I made a discovery. As I passed the stamped image through my pretty new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss I found that the paper became smoother. I know some people find that watercolour paper can be a little too textured for a clean stamping result. Well now you have the answer, run it through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine first. I did find that wrapping a piece of copy paper around it meant I got a cleaner result, so would recommend this to you.

The wash is a simple wet on wet technique. First ‘prime’ your paper with clean water, you are looking for a light sheen, not puddles! Then add your colour with a wet brush, so the colour runs across the ‘primed’ surface. Once you have added your first colour you can clean you brush to add the second. By using the wet on wet technique you will get a softer effect and may have a little bleeding of the colours into each other. Leave this to dry naturally, or dry it with your heat tool if you are impatient like me!

That is basically it. One stamped image, die cut and layered onto a colour wash mat, which is in turn on a coloured mat.

Video Tutorial Time!

I pride myself on my Customer Service, so am always thrilled when someone chooses to shop with me so they can experience it for themselves. I also like to share as many products as possible with my customers, so, when you shop with me I split the Host Rewards between all of you if you use the HOST CODE.

But that that is not all. If you use the HOST CODE, you can also earn Sunflower Rewards. For every £30 you spend in any ONE order, you earn ONE reward. Earn 10 Rewards and you get to choose up to £30 of current (not discounted) product. Full details are on the Hostess Code Club Page. This month’s Host Code is:

Stampin’ Cut & Emboss

If you have seen my unboxing of the new die cutting machine I am sure it will be on that Wish/Need List. Did you know that, although it is not available for Customers until next month, you are still able to get it in August. All you need to do is add Item #149653 to your Starter Kit and then decide what to spend the other £18 on. This means that you would not only get the new die cut machine NOW, but you would also save £31, no, make that £35.95 (I forgot that the Starter Kit includes the P&P!).

Best Deal in the Catalogue!

If your order is over £150 (plus P&P), please don’t use the Hostess Code as you will get to pick your own rewards, but don’t worry, you will still become a VIP Member. But, even better, if your order is even close to £100, please, please DO NOT ORDER!! Please get the Starter Kit and save money on this order and every future order until at least the end of January 2021.

 

The Starter Kit is ALWAYS the best deal in the Catalogue!  It is such amazing value at a total cost of just £99 (129€) for your choice of £130 (175€) of products (with no additional P&P)!

As a Member of this great Family, you get a minimum of 20% net discount on your future purchases. You also get income from sales you make to other people if you want to use this as a business. Win,Win Right?

Whether you are in the UK, France, Germany, The Netherlands or Austria, just click on the picture to join the Team. If you decide that being part of the Stampin’ Up! Family is not for you, then just stop buying and you will revert to being a customer. Easy, simple, no quibbles!
