GV Achievers Blog Hop
06/24/2015
Welcome to the Grand Vacation achievers hop for June. This month we are excited to show off new Stampin’ Up! products from the just released 2015 – 2016 Annual Catalog that is being paired with something we had previously from the old catalog. We hope you find great inspiration from the projects. Get your wish list ready!
You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Kelly Acheson or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects. At the moment you are visiting ME - Kelly Acheson.
I wanted to share one of my FAVORITE new stamp sets with you - GARDEN IN BLOOM!!! I love anything with "watercolor" art work and this one has soooo many possibilities. You'll be seeing a lot more of it from me - I have an upcoming class in the works!!!! I've made 9 different cards with this set already - I'm having a BLAST!!!
For this hop - our challenge was to use something new with something old...boy that was easy peasy lemon squeezy!!!!
SOMETHING NEW - Garden in Bloom Stamp Set
SOMETHING OLD - 2-1/2" Circle Punch
SOMETHING NEW - Color Me Irresistible Specialty Designer Paper
SOMETHING OLD - the sponging technique
ENJOY!!!!
I took a sponge in Bermuda Bay ink and lightly sponged the color onto the FABULOUS Color Me Irresistible Designer Paper - super easy right???

Wow. I never thought to do a limited-partial sponging of the DSP that way. Great idea and the card is gorgeous!
