Eastern Palace Highlight - Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to another blog hop with Stampin' Up's Artisan Design Team!  We are a group of 20 global demonstrators chosen by SU! to represent their awesome products in hopes to inspire you with our creations!  If you came from Dani's page - thanks for continuing to me!  I love her work - but sometimes she is a tough act to follow :)  I hope you like what I've made for you today.

Last month another ADT member (Tanya Boser) stayed at my house the night before OnStage.  She spilled the beans on here awesome watercoloring (maybe she can explain it best).  I absolutely loved how the backgrounds turned out on a few cards we made and I couldn't help but make some more watercolor cards to highlight the three in-colors that you will get with the purchase of either bundle!


This color combo is:  Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide and Dapper Denim.  I used a strip of Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper, Dapper Denim 3/8" Ruched Ribbon and the fringe from the Mini Tassels Assortment (more on that below).


I wanted to show off these beautiful Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies and thought they looked so pretty in Vellum.  Neither the diecut or the watercolor overshadow each other.  I think the soft look of the Vellum helps.  A few gold enamel shapes from the Metallic Enamel Shapes pack and the card is complete.


The second card is very similar to the first as far as supplies go.  A different medallion and sentiment, but that's it.  The color combo here is Flirty Flamingo, Sweet Sugarplum and Fresh Fig. (LOVE this new color!!)



Now you may notice the Tranquil Tide and the Fresh Fig twine sticking out from behind the medallions.  This was a very simple trick.  I think these tassels are adorable, but aren't they even cuter as "mini" Mini Tassels?  You can get two uses out of each tassel this way! Just snip half of the twine off and adhere it to the back of your cardstock.  Save the little tassels for later!


I hope you enjoyed my creations!
