Welcome to the monthly Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop. This month’s theme is our NEW Annual Catalogue Sneak Peak. You are currently visiting Sandra from Norfolk, UK. I hope you enjoy my projects today.
I’ve chosen to showcase the Varied Vases bundle, a fabulous punch and stamp bundle inspired by Mary Fish for her 1,000,000 CSV Million Sales Achiever. I immediately fell in love with this set, seeing it first time at On Stage Convention in April and immediately was added to my wish list. Look out for my upcoming classes with this bundle later in the year.
Here I have used a Basic Black base card layer, Whisper White mat layer and a top layer of Share What You Love Designer Series Papers #146926 which are gorgeous. The 3/8″ Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon #144129 has carried over into the new catalogue.
Images have all been stamped and punched, coloured with Watercolour Pencils #141709 and finally a touch of Wink of Stella Glitter Brush #141897 and a couple of Clear Rhinestone Basic Jewels #144220 have been added for a bit of bling.
My next card features a monochrome effect, mounting Basic Black and Whisper White mat layers onto a Sahara Sand base card. I created a Post-It Note mask with actual punched black vases so that my class could stamp with them correctly positioned, to avoid the stems poking out the bottom of the vase!
Punched vases were added on 3D Stampin’ Dimensionals #104430 and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals #144108. The ‘grounding’ has been by creating a ‘wash’ using the Basic Gray Watercolour Pencil and an Aqua Painter #103954.

Love your card Sandra & the way you have used it. Yes, this is on my wish list & can't wait to get my hands on it. TFS

Two wonderful cards! I like them both very much but I'm particularly drawn to the subtlety of the second one!
