Yes ladies it is time for a blog hop - quite a large hop with 25 demonstrators taking part - that's exciting isn't it.  Hello and welcome if you have arrived from Corina Beyer's  site, and if you are starting here ... you are in for a real treat - grab a cuppa and off we go.


So you may be thinking .... what is ESAD?


ESAD stands for "Extra Special Australasian Demonstrators" and it is an on-line group just for Australian and New Zealand Stampin Up demonstrators.


We so love what we do and not only do we love to share it with our customers, friends, and wonderful blog visitors, but we share our love for what we do with each other as demonstrators. We run swaps, challenges, tutorials, product know-how, and cyberstamps, and we are always there to help and support each other when it is needed.


So if you are a Stampin' Up! demonstrator located in Australia or New Zealand, then please feel free to click here to join our wonderful group.


So without further ado, here's my sample to share with you.

 This card was made using the new Life Shared stamp set - isn't it cute?  I've used watercolouring crayons and a blender pen to colour in the image - which has been stamped onto watercolouring paper.


The score lines have been added using the Simply Scored tool and the ribbon detail is the new 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain ribbon in Wild Wasabi.  There are two pieces - one is attached to the  watercoloured piece and the other is just wrapped around this piece several times.  I adhered it here and there with a few glue dots.


Its time to move on now to the next ESAD lady Andrea Buckland - Andrea has a beautiful blog creates the most stunning cards.


Thanks for visiting and drop by again sometime.
