Out in Bloom

I have finally found the time to make another card using some of the new sets that are available. I am discovering the joy of watercolouring, using our Blender Pens and Aqua Painters.

Ribbon: Double sided satin ribbon in Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla

I also used a cricut expression machine to cut a 1 3/4" circle, which I then cut in half.

Out of my comfort zone

Well I have been busy over the past couple of days with a cybercamp for Australian Stampin' Up® Demonstrators. It has been full of challenges, discussions, ideas and online chats and quizzes. This really is a company where every demonstrator is out there to help each other.
