the challenge for April is Watercolours + optional Stars.
 We look forward to seeing  your watercolour project,  Please visit the main blog

Here is my card...........

I created the splat with a splat stamp by  Crafy Roo Stamps.

I used Mermaid Lagoon DI Oxide, sprayed the stamp with water

and stamped the splat. 

I then created various size and coloured stars to add to the design. 

The sentiment is by My Paper World. 

Looking forward to seeing your creations.

Z is for Zoo Animals

Hello, my best wishes to all my visitors. During these

uncertain days of the Coronavirus, please say safe and well.

I am even more thrilled for you to visit me. Today we 

begin a nw challenge over at Alphabet Challenges

I can't believe we have again reached the letter Z -

the challenge is Z is for Zoo Animals.

There are more details and wonderful inspiration from

the design team over on the blog, it's worth a visit.

I had a lot of fun with my card.

Last May I bought a new set of stamps - Zebras -

 from Hobby Art when I was at a Stamperama craft event.

I decided it was time they saw the light of day and some ink.

I couldn't work out how to create a card, 

after some thought, I stamped every stamp onto 

copy paper and played with them as if they were jigsaw pieces.

Once I had settled on my design, I created the background

 with Distress Inks, then inked the stamps and created this card.

I know the perspective is not perfect but I promise I will improve. 

Thanks  for visiting.
