Hostess Set Sneak Peek: Faith in Nature

You are going to love the selection of hostess items in the new catalogue!  There are NINE stamps sets, two digital content CD's and a pack of 12x12 DSP to choose from.  The coolest thing is that under the new hostess program you can earn any one of these items with just a $200 workshop!!  But wait, there's more...you won't want to stop at just a $200 workshop when you see that you will earn any item in the catty at 50% OFF with a $525 workshop!!  Have you been coveting the Big Shot?  How would you like to get it for half price???  The new hostess program is FANTASTIC, offering more flexibility and incentives for hostess.  The card I have for you today is one that I made with one of the new hostess sets called Faith in Nature.  It is the one set I just had to pre-order...I think you'll understand why...

Card made using the Faith in Nature hostess set from the upcoming 2011/2012 IBC

Isn't this lovely?  It was so easy to pull this card together and the image was super-easy to watercolour.  It is a perfect one for novice stampers to learn to watercolour with an aquapainter on.  It was especially easy to colour because I heat embossed the image in gold, which makes the lines raised...its almost impossible to colour outside the lines when you do that!  You may notice the waterspots on the more mustard mat...they are from the French Foliage set which was in last year's Holiday Mini...its back in the big book!!  I am thrilled about that because it is a set I loved working with.  The card base is stamped with the En Francais background set, which is also continuing in the new catty.  There are SEVEN new background stamps plus two from last year's holiday mini in this catty...lots of great ways to add texture or create a quick and simple card with a large image. 
So, have I whetted your appetite yet?  Are you dying to see the new catty?  If so, drop me a line and reserve your copy.  I charge my cost which is $5.00...or better yet, host a workshop and get yours free!  You won't want to miss all the new goodies!  Catalogues are available for distribution on June 20th and go live on July 1st.  What a way to celebrate Canada Day, eh?
