+20 Alternatives - August 2023 Paper Pumpkin - Meaningful Flowers +Demos, Tips, Techniques, Supplies

This month has 2 stamp sets. I could not find a good fit with the bonus lotus flower set so did not use them.
The holiday catalog items will not be available until 9/6 so you will not see those items until then.
I will add all available added supplies over on my blog at www.stuffnthin...

🦋As an independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I am here for you. I would love to be your demonstrator if you do not have one. I have an extensive channel on KZbin with a large mix of videos on papercrafting and the full time RV life style. Fresh KZbin content is uploaded weekly. I seek out inspiration and new techniques by participating in challenges, swaps, blog hops and various demonstrator communities so I can bring you relevant content on my blog. My goal is to inspire you to create something every day!

🌹If you are looking for a low pressure sales experience where you work at your own pace doing what you love, becoming an independent demonstrator is a great option.

thank you so much!

Love your use of the colored pencils, if you want a water color look use some Gamsol and a blending stub.

[@tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz]

Great idea! I would say test first on a scrap of Basic White so you know how much you can work it without balling up the paper. Thanks for commenting😍

[@kathykelly283]

Yes, basic white works well, you don't really get the paper very wet but the Gamsol makes a big difference in the look because you will not see any pencil streaks, it is blended.

[@kathykelly283]

Lovely cards Tracy, love all the different layouts. Thank you so much.

[@tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz]
