New Wonders Stamp set – A Stamping Journey

It was a long weekend here for us this weekend. With a little extra time and for something fun we had a different kind of challenge on my Facebook group. I got the group members to design my next card. Twice on Saturday and then on Sunday I set a Poll with different categories for the card each time. There were 4 different options in each category and they could vote on it. The categories were Stamp sets to use, Colour Collection, Style and shape that must be on it.

The end result was that the stamp set New Wonders was chosen using Subtles colours. It was to be in Vintage style (which is not one I do much of) and it had to have a oval on it. So do you want to see the card??

I was happy that this set was chosen as I have been using this a bit lately – and it is a bit sweet. 🙂 I posted some cards yesterday here on my blog. Head back a post if you missed it. I think I pulled the vintage style off ok as it is not my usual style. I used a little distressing and a little sponging.

When I put together a card from scratch myself I often turn to card sketches to help. This one was based on this Sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #251.

I don’t really do cute-sy, But I really loved this sweet set New Wonders in the catalogue. It arrived recently and of course had to have a play.

Disclaimer: I am not great at colouring. And I will try and avoid it if I can. I will say though that this set makes colouring a whole lot easier. The designers of this set have created shadows in the images so I just followed these to give the different depths of colour. A bit like Colour by number except with shading instead.

Here are the trio of cards for you.

I will show you them individually to get a closer look.

This one above was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The Highland Heather mat is embossed with the Lace 3D embossing Folder.

The top one here is coloured with the Stampin’ Blends as well. I have to say this was the second attempt at colouring this one. It wasn’t going well. I outlined the little fairy image with the Light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends to give it some dimension. It’s much softer than the grey I usually use. I have used the Swirls and Curls Embossing Folder with this one. I love the sweet sentiments in this set too. Behind the diecut circle the image is on I diecut a scalloped circle in the Dazzling Glimmer Paper. That is a little hard to see though.

This one above in Rococo Rose is coloured with the Watercolor Pencils. While the Stampin’ Blends are easy to use I do prefer to colour with the pencils. I feel I have a little more control with the colours. To highlight the “hi” I gave it a light wash with the Daffodil Delight pencil and washed it a little with the Aquapainter. I have used the gorgeous Scalloped Lace Trim on each card.

Do you like this set? It’s a sweet one.
