Welcome back to another Fabulous Fridays at 5'o'clock'ish, known as FF@F'ish to many!
I'm so sorry it's been such a long time since posting anything new, like I've mentioned before, life happens and it's been a long road to wellness and stability for me since last July. I'm happy to say I've been working my way through many issues, one of the major ones being nearly loosing my life last year due to my dodgy heart. I have the all clear from my cardiologist for 6 months now and the pacemaker clinic for 12 months. Yay no more visits to Blacktown Hospital for 12 months. That was one of my triggers to unhappiness and panic. I've never had good experiences in that hospital and never want to end up there in emergency ever again. Thank goodness for health insurance and my beautiful hubby's well paying employment!
Anyway, on with some show and tell with a little video tutorial to boot!
Stampin' Up!'s new annual catalogue is well and truly out there for all to see. Have you seen it? No? Well if you want to see it in PDF format, take yourself over to this link here and browse on your big computer screen, it's gorgeous!

Want to see Sara & Shelli take a tour through it? Have a look at this clip here, it's nearly 20 minutes so you might want to grab a cuppa first!
Aren't there some amazing new products! As I type I am awaiting a delivery. I couldn't wait to share with you one particular product so I have made a tutorial video using supplies I have here already. I'm not showing you on screen what brand I have used but I have attempted to use as close to the Stampin' Up! colours as I possibly can. I hope you like this tutorial, it's one I've been doing for many years, even before Stampin' Up! came to Australia. It never gets old and it will always delight in it's results! Let's go.....
Colouring in with the New Soft Pastels by Stampin' Up!
So I finished the card as you can see below. A couple of other tips, brush a sponge dauber over the pastels to pick up the chalk and blend on for a nice soft background. I did this with the darker blue (Night of Navy shade) to get a soft background. I then picked up some of the same colour with my blender pen and edged the whole piece of Fluid 100 water colour paper. I've layered on to Night of Navy cardstock that has been die cut out using the new Scalloped Contour Dies. This die set can be purchased as a bundle with the Colour & Contour Stamp set for 10% off. I coloured my pearls using the dark Night of Navy Blends alcohol ink marker too. Little piece of White polka dot ribbon under the sentiment, done! Please see the links within the list below of all products used.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope to have a lot more ideas, tutorials and shares once my delivery has arrived. It's nice to be back! So until next time, remember
happy stamping, colouring & creating!
