Waterfront Stamp Set - Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop

Waterfront Stamp Set with Wood Textures paper by Stampin' Up! - Susan Wong, 2018 Artisan Design Team

It's May already!! We're in the final days of some fabulous retiring products and eagerly anticipating the release of a bunch of soon-to-be favourites in the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue (out June 1st). Great news is, both the Waterfront and Southern Serendade stamp sets the Artisan team are featuring this month are carrying over into the new catalogue! So we hope you lap up these ideas and use them in your own crafting world! Speaking of worlds....

HOT TIPS:

- Stamp off on scrap paper first and then straight on the Wood Textures designer paper for a subtle tree-line.

- Mask part of a sentiment with washi tape before inking up your stamp, peel off the washi then stamp on your cardstock. I mixed these two sentiments to make a new one:

- For the globe: I did a light Pool Party wash for the sea first and let dry. The land was done freehand with Call Me Clover and an aqua painter, copied from a globe on the internet. Finally I splattered on some Pool Party marker.

See all those little fussy cut houses in a row? Well can I just say, I'm so thankful for all the friends I've made from around the world on my Artisan journey.
