HLS Watercolour Challenge

 

Hello and welcome to my blog. 

Today we begin a new monthly challenge at Happy Little Stampers - Watercolour - Anything Goes. Please check the blog for more details and to see the wonderful design team inspiration. 

For my card I used a black mat to enhance my watercolour creation. I used Seedless Preserves and Spiced Marmalade Oxide DI, on a glass mat, sprayed water and placed my white card onto the dispersed ink. I dried each coat between each splashing of watered colour pigments. I stamped with a Crafty Individuals CI 519 stamp, heat embossed. From left over coloured card I fussy cut the butterfly and added with a couple of foam pads. The sentiment, also heat embossed is from my stash. I drew a faux stitch around the card. Happy Craftinga nd stay safe.

Cute Christmas

 

Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday. Dawn has chosen #162 Cute Christmas. For more details please pop onto the blog, where the DT have displayed their cute cards.

I have been saying for years, "I don't do Cute!" With all the cute stamps around these days, I can't as easily back out. My problem is the majority of cards I deliver are to mature adults, who I'm not comfortable enough to give them a cuddly cute card. I hope I'm ot alone in this. Don't get me wrong, cute has it's place and I do give some out but not as many as I make. 

My card was inspired by one in Creative Stamping #100, the stamps are with this issue, all by Crafter's Companion from the Cute Christmas selection,. I stamped the penguin twice, the 2nd time onto pink snowflake paper, to paper piece the hat and jumper. Enjoy your crafting.
