Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop - July 2022

Welcome to the July kit Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop. A Group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators join to create collaboratively using the current Paper Pumpkin Kit. Specifically, we design alternative cards, scrapbook pages, or other paper projects using the contents of the kit and a few coordinating additions from our own stash.

The July Paper Pumpkin kit, Sending Good Thoughts has a nautical theme and will make 9 cards from the kit supplies if you make them as the instructions outline.  

We make alternatives to show you how to extend your kit supplies, or just add in a few of your own craft supplies to create with the stamp set and extra elements from the kit. The coordinating Stampin’ Up! colors in the kit are: Balmy Blue, Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, Fresh Freesia, Pacific Point, Poppy Parade. 

I've been having so much fun trying other water coloring techniques I decided to use the stencil outline of the coral reef and water color with it. I added a drop of poppy parade ink refill onto a glass block and with my watercolor painter watered it down a bit and started painting inside the stencil. Below shows the supplies  

Here is the finished watercolor image. It really does give it that watery effect of coral flowing under water. I did add some watercolor paint splatter to the final product. 

I also decided to use the smaller image of the horse fish in the stamp set with a water color effect. I stamped it in the Bermuda bay ink and spritzed it with my spritzer. In this case, less water is best. See the finished products below!
