Crazy Crafters blog hop with Jeanette Egemann - Oh So Eclectic Bundle

Welcome back everyone 😊 I am so happy you could join me again.

Today we the Crazy Crafters Team are hopping with special guest Jeanette Egemann

When we hop with a special guest we all honour our guest by combing through their blog posts and choosing something we love of theirs and CASE it.
CASEing is where we Copy And Selective Edit. You can Copy it exactly or just edit by taking certain elements from a card design and making it your own.

Man that was hard this week, EVERYTHING on Jeanettes blog is just gorgeous!

But I did find something that really grabbed my attention.

Look at this card of Jeanettes! It is just STUNNING in it's simplicity. Jeanette has used my two current fave colours 'Lemon Lime Twist' - LLT and 'Berry Burst'- BB for her card plus it's a CAS design.
CAS is something I admire and always find hard to do.

I just had to CASE this card!

You are currently here with me Kim Oliver. This is a nlog hop, so I have listed all other participants towards the end of this post.

Here is my card.

Can you pick the elements I kept from Jeanettes original card?

You're Eclectically Lovely

Clean cards are Sooooo hard for me lol. But in saying that I think my card still has a CAS feel with it. What do you think?

 The elements I have kept from Jeanettes card are

1. The Focal Panel.
2. The Colour Scheme.
3. Die cuts.

I used the 'Oh So Eclectic' bundle for my card and I was just over the moon with how it finished. When I saw this suite in the catalog I just fell in loved with it and the DSP too.

But we will chat more about the second card another day 😊

I just love how striking the two colours combined with black and white look! 

Don't you agree?

"Welcome to the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop, running monthly. You are currently visiting with me Kim Oliver from Australia. I hope you enjoy my project/cards showcasing some of my favourite Carry Over Products from the old catalogue to the awesome new 2017-2018 catalogue.

#KOCreationscards #Countrylivin #Sunshinesayings #Watercolouring #Imarty #Stampinup #Rubberstamping #Guitars #Cowboys

I have chosen the 'Country Livin''and 'Sunshine Sayings' stamp sets as my Carry Over products along with the fabulous aqua painters and Stampin' Write Markers.

Here is my card

A Life Time Of Love

#KOCreationscards #Countrylivin #Sunshinesayings #Watercolouring #Imarty #Stampinup #Rubberstamping #Guitars #Cowboys

My card stock is thick Whisper White with a layer of Dapper Denim for contrast.
I stamped my images using the memento black ink and let dry before water colouring with the Aqua painters.
I was after a real water colour feel with my images so I was really rough and super quick when painting. Skipping between the sections so the colours do not bleed into each other. Let dry a little before adding in the darker areas for a truer water colour effect.
Using the large stitched shapes ovel I die cut the coloured pickup. Layering this with dapper denim card stock really gave it a lift.
I then fussy cut the boots and the guitar. I am a little bit of a operfectionist and beacuse these items weren't in perspective, I tried to give a little perspective to them by layering.
I glued the guitar directly on to the pick up image and behind the boots.
The boots have been raised using dimenionals, to bring them forward a little more.

*TIPS: 

1. To colour using markers just scribble the colour onto a clear block then pick up colour as needed with the aqua painters.
2. When water colouring on thick whisper white you have to use a wet brush (but not dripping) and be as quick as possible. Do not rub back and forth but keep your brush moving in one direction.
