Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Julia Quinn.
I have chosen to case the Stepped Upped cards on page 39 of the Mini Catalogue using the Enduring Beauty Bundle which include a mix of masks, stamp set and dies which is a first for Stampin' Up!
This bundle has been in at my home for a couple of months but this is the first time I have had some time to pull it out and give it some love and ink.
I have stamped Black Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock and then I used my blending brushes in Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party to easily coloured in the image.
The masks have a number in the top left hand corner so this makes it so easy to layer the colours to create a wonderful image and I have only used 2 ink pads but with the layers it gives the different shades of colour. The centrepiece was then die cut out.
With the layered Basic White cardstock, I very lightly added the stamens in Orchid Oasis to create a background, then added this to the Starry Sky cardstock, add the centrepiece with dimensionals and add a few tiny little buds in Black Memento and use the two step stamp and stamp off the ink to give a lighter colour.
Finally, I added some die cut buds and leaves in Parakeet Party, a sentiment from Thoughtful Expressions in Starry Sky, a double baker's twine bow and some Faceted Gems.
