Stampin’ Up! Cruise Swap

Happy Saturday to you … well I’ve been home now for a day and feeling a lot better than I thought I would be!

I had set up for my swap card for the Stampin’ Up! Grand Vacation Cruise to post while I was away but apparently that didnt happen so here it is for you today ….

I’ve been getting re-acquanted with Water Colouring lately and loving it and when I made this card thought it was perfect as my Cruise Swap!

Well that was until I went to make 26 of this card which meant stamping, colouring and fussy cutting over 80 of these flowers!  It was an awesome feeling when I’d got them all completed I can tell you as those flowers are stamped onto Watercolor Paper and Stampin’ Up’s Watercolour paper is thicker than others so it was a little hard on the hands!

I’ve used the Peaceful Petals stamp set and used some Gorgeous Grunge on the base card with the Illuminate Ink.  It gives a lovely shimmery look to the card.

I hope you like my Swap Card and do hope the girls who recieved it on the Cruise liked it too.

Thanks for stopping by ….
