SCACD New Release Blog Hop - Natural Beauty Collection


Hello Everyone and welcome to another stop of the fabulous SCACD New Release Blog Hop - Natural Beauty Collection by Carmen Medlin.

If you came here from wonderful Rowena's blog you are on the right track! If not please go back to the SCACD store blog to start from the beginning. There you'll also find the complete blog hop list and all the details regarding the hop!

I'm thrilled and honored that Susana asked me again to participate in one of her awesome new release hops! Thanks Susana :-)! 

The stamps are available as of today and you can start ordering right away. Here is a link to the new collection Natural Beauty Collection

For my blog hop creation I used 'Sweet Water Babies'. Isn't she just a beauty? I love mermaids :-D


I colored her using Copics and Prismas. The DP is from MME Stella Rose - Hazel collection and also available at Susana's store. Border Punch is an EK Sucess punch and the branch die is from Marianne Design. Charm and ribbon slider are available here. The roses are from Prima. Check out Susana's Prima collection, she has some on clearance sale as well! 


I added Stickles and Copic Spica Glitter Pen's to the image and flower arrangement (photo below) for some fabulous glitz effects.The pearl cluster I got from Michaels.


Unfortunately you can hardly see it here on the photo but I've added lots of nice shimmer to my large rose by spraying it with Tsukineko Psst Shimmer Spritz. I used Sheer Sparkle.



Now it's time for you to continue the hop. Your next stop will be super talented Alex' blog

If you are in the UK or Europe you can order through Quixotic Paperie which is an exclusive SCACD retailer.

Thanks for hopping with us today and I hope you enjoy the new release! 

Hugs,
