Stampin' Up! Beautiful You

Beautiful You is one of those stamp sets that catch your eye and when you see the many ways it can be used in card making, you soon realise it is a "have to have" item.  This is a set of creations from class where the girls used the current 2016-18 Stampin' Up! In Colours ...

 I started off with a very simple layout - 2 layer, water coloured with ink and aqua pens...

 I then added a little colour with a masked sponged band across the length to create a landscape...
