Today, 25 consultant artists are sharing artwork
they've created using NEW products
featured in the Annual Inspirations 2016 catalog
from Close to my Heart!
If you've just arrived here from BRENDA's BLOG
then you are on the correct path.
For me, one of the most exciting new additions
to our basic CTMH product line, was the
NEW Color of the year!...SEA GLASS!!
It's a beautiful shade of light teal that I
immediately fell in love with and couldn't
wait to use. I also joined a team card swap
this month, so I needed to come up with a
card design to duplicate (16 times) and
mail to my fellow consultant swappers.
First, I gathered a few materials I knew I wanted
to use (including SEA GLASS glitter paper Z3240
and a SEA GLASS mini pigment ink pad Z2507)
and then began experimenting. I colored the sea shells
above and below with watercolor paints and let dry.
(NEW stamp sets I used are
Swirly Seashells C1664,
and Way to Go D1700).
As you can see, this project involved A LOT of watercoloring and hours of
detailed cutting!! BUT it was a labor of love and I was really pleased with
the end result...a lovely card I was proud to send/share with my
fellow consultant artists. I hope it inspires you too! Enjoy!!

Beautiful card!
Sweet card! I love the colors and the torn edges.
What a gorgeous card.
Love, Love, Love your card. So elegant.
Gorgeous! I love how you painted the sea shells and then that Sea Glass glitter paper ocean is fabulous!
Love, love this card! I just have to make it:)
Such a pretty card! Love how you ripped the glitter paper and the sparkles are a great touch.
Love love love the stamped and colored shells. Love the layered colours.
Breathtakingly beautiful....love your choice of colors and using the Sea Glass glitter paper! WOW! (BTW did you know you can capture the shell images -print screen- and import them into Cricut Design Space as a print and cut)!
Wow, your colouring and attention to detail is amazing! Such a serene and beautiful card.
Oh Jen - just BEAUTIFUL!!! The torn edges of glitter paper caught my eye (need to remember that!) and then all of that beautiful coloring...LOVE it! :) I must ask - did you use the pigment sea glass ink pad to watercolor??? I'd love to know how you did that if that is the case. Thanks for sharing! ;)
Soooo gorgeous, Jen! I love it!
These are beautiful!!! I love this stamp set and the colors you used.
Beautiful card. Truly a labour of love!
