Welcome to InKing Royalty’s August Blog Hop! Today’s Blog Hop is filled with projects inspired by some of our favorite Fall-themed products. What fun! Stampin’ Up!’s catalogs (both the Annual Catalog and soon-to-be-released Holiday Catalog) are filled with so many fun products for the Autumn holidays – and we are excited to share our creations with you today. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
My project today showcases the Colorful Seasons Bundle with the watercolor smooshing technique! There’s also a little sneak peak of one of my favorite new products in the upcoming Holiday Catalog!
For the watercolor smooshing, I chose the color combination of Soft Sky, Peekaboo Peach, and Crushed Curry (inspired by a new Designer Series Paper in the Holiday Catalog). After “smooshing”, I spritzed the Shimmery White with a little Cajun Craze Stampin’ Write Marker.
For some more texture and interest, I added a couple of strips of the beautiful Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape and then the detailed leaf from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits, which I adhered with the assistance of the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets. The final touch is a trio of Glitter Enamel Dots.
Here’s my Facebook Live video tutorial:

Awesome card Julie!! Love the watercolor background. I am so glad this will be tonight’s Facebook Live! I need tips on spritzing with markers. I just got a new set of Regale. Imthink my old ones were too dry and might have been part of it…the rest…operator error lol
Absolutamente soberbia, this card is so beautiful I had to break out my almost second language. It’s absolutely stunning, the maple leaf is the ideal embellishment. I’m definitely going to smoosh soon, maybe, yes. I love it
