Bohemian Borders: Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop

Hello friends! Thank you so much for joining me for the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop! Everyone on the design team has some amazing projects to share with you featuring BRAND NEW, not yet released, Stampin' Up! products from the upcoming catalogue! Eek! So exciting! My card uses the Bohemian Borders stamp set, and let me just say that this one was a bit of a challenge for me. Truth bomb…I've never super loved bohemian anything. However, I'm gonna brag and say that I think I nailed it. 
I was chatting with my friend, and fellow team member, Cindy about the Bohemian DSP (also new and featured on her project today) saying that I'd really love it if it was in neutrals. And then it hit me, I can make it myself in neutrals with the stamp set! 
I think it turned out really well, I hope you like it too. The colours I've used for watercolouring are: Soft Suede, Tip Top Taupe, Crumb Cake, and Sahara Sand. They look pretty fab together. You should give it a try.

 Now let's go visit Barbara and check out what she's made with the awesome new Stampin' Up! products!
Have an amazing day!
Happy Stampin'

    Alison, this card is beautiful! Did you emboss the design on watercolor paper and then color it?

    You definitely nailed it girl! Best post ever since I started visiting your blog on these blog hops. I just wish you'd share more of your technique. Aren't you supposed to do that as a SU DT member? So sad. Not everyone can just stare at a card and figure out how you did what you did.

      Hello Kathy,
      If you have questions I'm more than happy to answer them for you. The background of this card was created by heat embossing on watercolour paper with white embossing powder and then watercoloured with ink pads listed. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
      Allison

    I wasn't sold on this set until now. I absolutely love this card. It reminds me of a beautiful Navajo blanket. Definitely moved to the top of my list! Thanks for sharing!
