A bit of watercolouring...

Good morning folks!

The sun is out and I am off work so before I get on with the housework I thought I would share my latest creation.

I actually spotted these flowers on youtube and they were also watercoloured, I just loved it when I saw it so I already had the stamps so I followed the tutorial by Kristina over there for colouring and making this card. 

This didn't actually take me that long but I first of all stamped and white embossed the flowers and the stems, I also had to mask off the flowers so I could overlap them....oh and it was really difficult to see the white embossing so one of my stems is a bit off centre.....I guess that's what makes it handmade...lol!

Next I started colouring the flowers using my zig pens, now I started with light colours and then gradually added darker colours to give the flowers a bit of depth...you don't have to be great at colouring which is what I love about watercolouring...it's so forgiving if you make a mistook!

Once I was happy with the colours I then added some shading around the flowers and then I added some slpodges...these are so cool and funky and I also added my checked effect backing...I think this looks quite funky against the vibrant colours.

A Little Thank You

Hi folks, happy Friday!

I'm here today with my card for My Mum's Craft Shop!

I have been doing a bit of watercolouring and this set of stamps from MFT called Build-able Bouquet is the perfect set to start with as the images aren't too big. 

For this card I stamped the images and white embossed, this helps the colour not to run over the lines, it kind of holds it in place....it's a fab technique!  I then used watercolour pens to colour the images.  I added some little sequins and some white splodges to finish!

Little Bluebird...

Howdy folks, this is a late post but thought I would post it before I forget.

So this little cutie is called a bluebird's proposal from the Gorjuss collection.  I coloured the image with Spectrum Noir Aqua pens.  the papers were in my stash which I layered onto black cardstock and then doodled.  I added a piece of lace to one of the layers...you can just see it. The flowers are a mix of pre made and handmade using different die-namics roses.  I added some pearls to the centres of the flowers and to the corners of the layers and then finished with a bow.

Snowman family

Howdy folks....I am on holiday this week and its been a bit rubbish so far but taking a wee break from it all to make a non DT card....

In case you don't know, I DO love snowmen so what better than to make a card using one of my favourite snowmen stamps from LOTV.  I coloured this little cutie with my inktense pencils....still practising!  I added loads of glitter to the image too. The papers are digi papers from The Sweet Shoppe called "An Icy Christmas" which is really pretty....lots of teeny snowflakes on them. The snowflakes have been punched with my Martha Stewart snowflake punches and die-namics Let it Snowflakes dies and then glittered them up. I added pearls to the centres and a button to the centre of the big snowflake. I added an organza ribbon and pearls to the corners...hope you likey!
