New Catalogue has arrived...a week ago!


Well the new catalogue has been with us almost a week and I'm yet to show you anything made with the new goodies. This card has been made from one of the level three hostess sets from the new catalogue called "Garden Dreams" and it is a lovely set, well worth hosting a workshop for. The image was stamped in bashful blue ink and then chalked in the centre, which was layered up with dimensionals to give some depth. The card was finished off with some pearls from the pretties kit.
Supplies:
Stamps: Garden Dreams
Cardstock / Paper: Whisper White, Bashful Blue and Bashful Blue dsp
Ink: Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery and Versamark
