Happy Little Stampers - January Watercolour Challenge

Hello, I am thrilled to be joining the Design Team at the Watercolours monthly challenges.
A new challenge and adventure starting in my new year.
Please join us in our January challenge  https://happylittlestampers.blogspot.com/




Here is my card


I stamped the flowers and leaves - using an AlteNew set- 
Modern Anemone stamp and die cut collection.
The stamped images were painted with Mica paint.
The pieces were then die cut.
I splashed the white page with the same purple paint
used for the flowers. Adhered the flowers, 
then added the sequins to the card.
The sweet sentiment  is from the same set.

Blog Closure


Hi, it is with a sad heart,  to let you know I have, today,
closed down my latest blog
After a short spell of eighteen months, the time has 
come to say goodbye. 
There are many reasons, too many to start listing,
as none is more responsible than others.
Suffice to say,  challenge blogging is not as
active as it once was, players are finding other
sources of sharing their creations. 
Please pop over to the blog for my farewell
comments, thanks and praises.
I thank you, personally, if you have at any time
been a supporter of the blog.  Thank you.

I am making a double exception today, one for my 
concerns with the weather and the problems with the
dam in a small town in the UK and for everyone in
El Paso, Texas and in Dayton, Ohio. My sympathy
goes to everyone in these towns after suffering mass
shootings with many injured, some seriously, and
many who did not survive the carnage.

challenge over on Cardz 4 Galz
Challenge # 102 Summer Fun
Please see what it is all about over on the blog, 
don't forget to check out the lovely cards 
created by the design team. 
I made a 6" sq. card, I used a green card to 
mat a pretty patterned paper from a green
Capsule collection by Dovecraft. 
A fancy die to mat the main stamped image,
which is by LOTV. - coloured with Promarkers.
A LOTV sentiment, plus a few embellishments added.
I've used this stamp a few times before, if you would
like to see here are a few
and
Have fun, thanks for popping by.
