Welcome to the new eP...

Wow...The day of the new eclectic Paperie reveal has finally come!  It's been quite a journey and a mad dash to get a new site designed and loaded, full of new products, in just three weeks!  I'm so excited to finally be able to share the new design, new products, and our amazing new team!!  Sit back and enjoy today's blog hop and all of the beautiful artwork along the way!  Be sure to stop by the eP blog to read all about today's specials, sales, and prize opportunities!

For my card, I used a stamp from Wplus9 Design Studio, Flora & Fauna.  Wplus9 is a new company for me and I am seriously impressed with their designs, coordinating dies, and quality.  This company is sure to be one of my new favs!

To create this card I embossed the image in white embossing powder (oh, on Inkssentials stamp paper...LOVE this paper!  A stamper's dream!).  I then used Distress Inks to watercolor the image.  (Smear some ink on an acrylic block on non-stick craft sheet and then use a watercolor brush to pick up the ink.)  The Specialty Stamp Paper held up amazingly well to the watercoloring...not even a hint of warping!  Once I was finished coloring the flowers...I just couldn't bare to use DP on my card so I just mounted on orange cardstock and added a sentiment, from Sweet 'n Sassy.

So...how about some more fabulous artwork?  Check out the goodies the eTeam are sharing and enjoy the hop!
