Enchanted Forest!

Crafter's Companion is bringing Sara Signature Enchanted Forest to HSN on November 9.  This is a great bundle with many additional pieces you can add on.  Here is a peek at a card I made.

I used Harmony inkpads (Plum Pudding & Lagoon) blended with water to create the background on Spectrum Noir Watercolor paper.

I used Enchanted Forest Luxury Cardstocks for the side bases and again for the front of the card.  The front of the card is the die from the Wisteria Window Create-a-card die set.

I stamped the Enchanted Forest Believe stamp on the background using Spectrum Noir Finesse Black inkpad.

The other pieces were all cut from Enchanged Forest dies and added onto the card to create a little scene.   I used pop dots and folder paper behind the diecuts to give it a multi layer look.

These new stamp and die sets coming to HSN Oct. 9, named ADORABLES are just that - Adorable!!  This card features the Planting Wishes set.

Doing something a little different I decided to create my own background.  If you are feeling less adventurous you can use the paper pad that is included in the bundle for your backgrounds.

Spectrum Noir NEW Metallic Markers!

Love the look of Metallic?  Then you are going to flip over the new Spectrum Noir Midas Inkpad line and new Metallic markers.   The colors are so vibrant!

Here is my practice sheet.  I stamped the butterflies in the Silver Midas ink and used the metallic markers to color in some areas.  These are ALL NEW marker colors being released on HSN Oct. 9.

Can you ever have too many butterflies?

Be sure to add this bundle of goodies in your shopping cart!
