HSL Watercolour Challenge

 

Hello, can I say Happy New Year, never before has this meant as much as it does now, for we, all over the world are praying for a better year, for a year with the pandemic under control.  Today we begin a new monthly challenge at Happy Little Stampers - we have the Watercolour challenge. 

For my card, I watercoloured a block with 3 Distress inks. Added a sun template, coloured it with Spiced Marmalade. When dry I stamped with Versafine Onyx Black Pampas Grass by Inkylicious, added the birds and a sentiment by Crafty Roo Stamps. Brushed the edges with Spiced Marmalade.  I drew a fine line around the watercoloured panel for more detail.

More Than One Fold

 

Hello everyone, I hope you are safe and well. Thanks for taking the time to visit. Today we begin a new two weekly challenge at Cardz 4 Galz.  Billie A has chosen for us #137 More Than One Fold. A good time for you to make your favourite card with folds or even learn a new one. There are lots to see, with tutorials on You Tube. Please visit the blog to see the details and to see the cards made by the design team. 

I made a Centre Fold Stepper card, checked the measurements on You Tube. It really is so simple to make, but looks so different from the normal book folding card. The base is a yellow firm card. I covered the 4 areas with papers from a Graphic 45 paper set -Dreamland.  The greeting is a die cut.

Stay safe and take care.
