I recently took 6 months off crafting, well, off life as we knew it actually. I had the privelege of nursing my father who died of Lymphoma earlier this year. It was a difficult time, but one I will be forever glad that I could be a part of. It is now time to move forward with my life, poorer as it will be without him in it.
During those dark times there was always a glimmer of something fantastic to look forward to, and that was On Stage 2018 at Luna Park. This was my first On Stage and WOW, what a way to come back with a bang!
All I can says is that if you are ever considering attending DO IT!!!!!
It was the best weekend ever, and a big thankyou to my roomies Sandra Mastello and Jessie Holton. Please have a look at their blogs, they are both amazingly talented ladies who will inspire you to create.
Onstage attendees are lucky enough to be able to order new product early with a Product Purchase Premiere, and I was so excited that the Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Specialty Paper was included in this pre-order. We got to play with this paper during a make-and-take at OnStage and as soon as I saw it I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it - I just had to colour it with blends!
This is the result:
This paper allows for smooth seamless blending. I used 2 of the new In Colour Blends in Lovely Lipstick and Pineapple Punch (free gifts of new products is also a perk of attending OnStage) I complemented them with Light Calypso Coral and Old Olive in light and dark.
The Stamp is from the Detailed with Love Stamp set and also stamped in Lovely Lipstick and cut out with the layering ovals framelits which of course are perfectly sized for the job.
In the closeup here you can see the beautiful faceted dots that also come in the Delightfully
Detailed Suite, and just to add to the bling I Wink of Stella'd everything to match the lovely shine from the dots.
In this photo you can see the tag from the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit. They perfectly complement the card when simply coloured with Blends which makes them super versatile for any colour scheme.
The best part is this Embellishment Kit comes free with the GOTTA HAVE IT ALL BUNDLE.
A simple colour wash background, a flick with a Stampin Write marker, and a couple of dimensionals. Matt the watercolour paper onto some Old Olive CS and then on to a thick Whisper White card base and you're done!
Another highlight of my OnStage experience was getting to meet this lovely lady!
Sara attended our Crazy Crafters Team meeting on Sunday Morning. It was a wonderful experience, she is as lovely in real life as she is on line. It was great to hear her talk about the Company and share so much of her life with us.
Thankyou for having a peek through my Blog.
