Rustic Cottage by Sara Davies of Crafter's Companion

Well friends, it's almost time for the next big HSN crafty event!!! So are YOU ready?!!! Here's another sneak peek. These are products from the NEW Sara Signature Collection - Rustic Cottage.



I diecut all the pieces and then used Spectrum Aqua Watercolor Markers to color. For the red on the flower, I used the Macaroon Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen.

Fab 60's Watercolor

Here's another card I created using the brand new Sheena Douglass Groovin' 60's collection from Crafter's Companion.

Everything is watercolored with Spectrum Noir AquaBlend Watercolor Pencils. As you can see, these pencil colors are super rich and vibrant! Fab...right?!

• Background - Sky Blue, Regal Blue
• Skin - Apricot, Coral, Sorrel
• Hair - Beeswax, Sorrel
• Lips - Watermelon, Strawberry
• Hat & Gemstone - Petunia, Anthracite
• Hat Band & Jacket - Kiwi, Cypress

I made the card base from Spectrum Aqua Watercolour Cardstock, as well as the additional cut out pieces.  Everything is stamped and heat embossed. The flowers have glitter glue in the centers.

To make the heart, I brushed anti-static powder on a small piece of watercolor cardstock, placed the Groovy Flower Power Stencil on top and dabbed black pigment ink only in the dashed areas of the heart. After lifting off the stencil, I heat embossed in clear. Next, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in the center. To finish, I trimmed out and attached to card with dimensional foam adhesive.

TODAY on HSN

Hello everyone! Today's the day! Sara Davis is on the HSN Show with oodles of great products from Crafter's Companion USA and Spectrum Noir!  Click HERE to see the schedule and other details.

One of the fantastic new MUST HAVE items on the show is the fantastic Spectrum Noir AquaBlend Watercolor Pencils. Seriously...these pencils ROCK! I colored this with 'em...

I stamped and heat emboss the Magnolia Blossom from Sheena A Little Bit Floral collection with gold embossing powder on Spectrum Noir Watercolor Cardstock. Then I watercolored the flowers and background with Spectrum Noir AquaBlend watercolor pencils from the Naturals set (Lagoon, Aqua, Jungle Green, Oregano, Bison) and Primaries set (Claret, Carmine).

After it was completely dry, I stamped in the background using Delicata Golden Glitz Ink. The little flowers were stamped and embossed in gold, trimmed and adhered.

I also used the Edge'ables Only Words Die - For My Special Friend. To create the gold shimmer behind the cut out letters, I inked a strip of white cardstock with the Golden Glitz ink and adhered to the back.

Card base is made from Crafter's Companion Rose Pearl Shimmering Cardstock. I think this card turned out absolutely stunning.

I know you're gonna love these new Spectrum Noir AquaBlend watercolor pencils. They make coloring fun and easy :)



Enjoy the show!

NEW Spectrum Noir Watercolor Pencils

Bonjour my crafty friends. I have EXCITING NEWS! Spectrum Noir is coming out with some brand new Spectrum Noir AquaBlend Watercolor Pencils! Sara Davies, the founder Crafter's Companion will debut them March 16th on HSN - Home Shopping Network.

LUCKY ME :) I'm on the design team...so I already got these babies in my hands. Let me tell ya...they are fab! Check out how rich and vibrant the colors are...

Are ya droolin'....like me?!!! Spectrum Noir AquaBlend Watercolor Pencils are loaded with high-quality artist’s grade pigment, which gives a smooth laydown of color. And because they are water soluble, you can create brilliant watercolor effects using a brush and water. Seriously...these pencils are amazing!

The stamp set I used is Sheena A Little Bit Scenic French 50's Cafe. It's a GREAT set! So many fun images that can be used to make a little scene...or use them individually for more of a clean and simple design. I LOVE sets that are so versatile like that.

I stamped the building on Spectrum Noir Watercolor Cardstock. It's a nice bright white paper. You need it too ;) After I colored the building, I stamped and colored the woman walking the dog. The tree and flowers were stamped on scrap pieces of watercolor cardstock - colored & fussy cut.

TIP: To give the building the appearance of being further back in the background, I stamped with a lighter ink color. 

Make sure to mark your calendar for the HSN Show on March 16th. It will be a fun day of crafting, inspiration and shopping!
