Watercolour Wednesday #3

Hello there,

Today is number 3 of my personal prompt Watercolour Wednesday.

For this card I white heat embossed the fuchsia image from Clearly Besotted's Beautiful Friend set onto some watercolour card and used my Inktense pencils to add the bright vibrant colours. To add a bit more interest to the black strip I used my score board to add some lines for a bit of texture, a pop of pink card plus a sentiment from an old Stamping' Up! set and the card was done.

Thanks for looking, lorry :o) xx

Watercolour Wednesday #2

Hi There.

Today is number 2 of my Watercolour Wednesday personal prompt/challenge.

I really enjoyed painting with the Sketchy Rose stamp from AlteNew, I think roses are one of my favourite flowers to colour in. I used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour set which I love, the colours are fab and the paint seems quite silky and is easy to work with. I fussy cut round the side of the flowers so they would stand out against the black strip. A sentiment from Clearly Besotted and the card was done.

Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx

Watercolour Wednesday #1

Hi there,

I had a rather large break from blogging and have now decided to get back into it. To help me organise myself I came up with several blog titles for various days of the week to promp/challenge me to pull my finger out and make and post something for that day.

For my 'Watercolour Wednesday' personal promp/challenge type thing the idea is to make a card using some form of watercoloured element, be it from my traditional pan style paints, watercolour pencils and pens or even my Distress Inks used as paint.

For this card I used a lovely rose image from Clearly Besotted, I coloured it with my Zigg Clean Color real brush pens, then cut the top of the image panel using a notebook die also from Clearly Besotted. I then stamped the background using the Hardwood background stamp from Stampin' Up! onto some craft card stock with some brown ink. The sentiment is from, you guessed it, Clearly Besotted (I love their stuff), added some twine and the card was done.

Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx
