I spent the last weekend at a wonderful retreat in Ohope, run by fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator,
Delys Cram. Ohope is one of the most beautiful beaches in New Zealand and we got to share it with
Nikki Spencer, another fellow Demonstrator from Melbourne, Australia!!
Nikki and I made sure to go for a walk on the beach Sunday morning before the classes began for the day.
I love spending time with these girls! We always have a blast together.
The class I taught was a watercolouring class using Aqua Painters and the beautiful Easter set, Indescribable Gift.
I love the soft blues and pinks together, but by adding the darker brown for contrast, it doesn't look "wimpy". While this class might have initially scared some of the camp attendees, everyone did a fabulous job and I am sure some even went home feeling like Monet!!

Paula... this is by far the MOST beautiful card I have seen made with this set! I have been wishing more and more than I owned it, and you card may just have pushed me over the edge! lol See you in April on the Gold Coast I hope!
ReplyDeleteGlad I could help you add yet another stamp set to your collection, Linda!! I will be in Gold Coast for sure and look forward to catching up ♥
DeleteWhat a beautiful card sample for your class and a lovely trio of gorgeous gals! That panoramic shot of the beach is scrapbook worthy. X
ReplyDeleteIt's is hard to take a bad photo on that gorgeous beach Bron! I probably will end up scrapping it!! See you in the GC too, I hope ♥
DeleteGorgeous photo, Paula and reminds me of our lovely summer holiday in New Zealand. Love your card too - this is a gorgeous set to colour. I haven't done it in water colour yet, must give it a go.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely have a go at water colouring this set Judy. It really lends itself to so many colouring techniques.
ReplyDeleteAwwww you three, bet you had a blast! Your card is divine! Looking forward to seeing you in April. xox
ReplyDeleteYou should come to Delys's Stamp Camp next time and join in the fun Patrice ♥
DeleteSee you in the GC!!
This set is just lovely in watercolor. I've never done watercolor, but this urged me to try it! Thx for sharing. Wish you would do a tutorial on coloring this! Hint!
ReplyDeleteWell now Patty, give me a day or two and I will put a tutorial up. How does that sound?
DeleteWOW!~ This is the prettiest I've seen with this set too! Love it! I wish I could come down there too. Sounds like you have a wonderful time. That beach is gorgeous too! Can't wait for the tute! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks Bobbi. Tutorial done, now just have to work out technical issues!
