Watercolor wishes

I decided to have another go at watercolour using this amazing embossing folder

Lovely floral Dynamic Textured Impressions!

I teamed it with Grapefruit Grove card

and colouring it using stampin write pens new in colours pack,

a paintbrush and small jar of water or you could get yourself a pack of

Aqua Painters

Here is a close up of the colours.

You will need some sort of cutting/embossing machine to achieve this.

You can purchase the Big shot machine here!

How I made my card:

I matted my a5 card base with some Grapefruit Grove card.

I cut a piece of watercolour card to fit nicely over the card.

I ran it through my embossing machine, moving the folder each time,

to achieve a random effect.

Now it's the fun part. I scribbled some ink from each of the stampin write pens

onto my glass mat and set about painting the colours inside the lines of the embossing.

It is quite easy once you get going.

When I had all the flowers and leaves painted I went back into the background

with the blue, fading out as I neared the centre.

I stamped my sentiment in the middle using Grapefruit Grove ink pad

and the stamp is from Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.

I glued it on the grapefruit grove and tied organza ribbon round it all and finished with a bow.

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing a sweet little card I made for a friend.

I have used two stamp sets and a bit of masking.

The stamp sets are called

Bella and Friends & Pretty Kitty

They are jam packed full of the cutest images and sentiments.

I stamped using memento ink and coloured with promarkers

and stampin write pens.

The striped paper is from the Tutti Frutti dsp

and I teamed it up with some Pool Party card.

I also added a tiny little bow made from some linen thread

I finished the inside off with one of the sentiment stamps and the little bird again.
