Beautiful Snowflake Water Washed background

Welcome to todays Crazy Crafter Special Guest Blog Hop, we have the great pleasure to be CASEing Jenny Hall from the United States, Jenny is so creative, and has lots of video tutorials of her amazing creations on her blog, Jenny Hall Design.

It was difficult to decide which of Jenny's creations to CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit), I finally decided on the below.... 

I've always love the look of watercolour washes, but.... they scare me - with watercolour there is an element that you are not able to control, and you just have to let go.  I've been doing more with watercolour of late, so if you are like me and are scared by watercolours, please give it a go, you will be surprised with the beautiful backgrounds you can create.

Blueberry Bushel, Flirty Flamingo and Highland Heather were used for the water wash, one of the beauties of water colours that I've discovered is that they start out pastel, and you can build colour as you go.

The feature element comes from the upcoming limited time Snow is Glistening stamp set and the coordinating Snowfall Thinlets, I just had to have the pre-order, you can purchase this set from November 1st, or if you can't wait it can be part of your starter kit when your join.

To stamp your snowflake image multiple colours just apply your ink with Sponge Daubers, I started with the Powder Pink, then Highland Heather and Balmy Blue in the centre. I also sponged the sentiment, changing out Balmy Blue for Blueberry Bushel. Lastly for some bling, a little Rose Metallic Thread under the Powder Pink snowflake die cut, and some Artisan Pearls.

Grap a cuppa and work your way through the list below to see all the amazing creations  inspired by Jenny, I can't wait to see what the rest of the team has to show you, don't miss out on any of these blog posts today as I know you are going to get so much inspiration!
