Thursday was officially Day 1 of convention. This is a few of just a “few” of the demonstrators sharing in the fun. We started off with general session in the morning where everyone received a free stamp set. That’s always a great way to start things off! We got the new Holiday catalog which goes live at the end of August. OMG is it awesome! My wish list is huge, but luckily convention attendees get to shop the “Stampin’ Up! store and can purchase a number of the items in the catalog while we’re here.
Next we had classes to attend and a make & take project and then off to the demonstrator resource center for some hands on with new product and a Project Life presentation. We had a special lunch with a group of demonstrators from around the country and then I participated in a swap.
This is the card I created for the swap. The patterned design on the left of the card was done by sponging the inside of the Honeycomb embossing folder with Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive and Bermuda Bay. Next I spritzed the embossing folder with water and laid Watercolor Paper on the embossing folder and rubbed it to transfer the ink from the folder to the paper.
I consider that to be a really unique combination of colors……. and boy do they work well!!! Love the colors; love the technique!!!!
