A few things to share….

Hello

Popping in to share a few things I’ve finished/begun recently.

First up are some cards.

Unstampabelles Tea in the Garden ….

Hello

Today I am popping in to share my creation for the current challenge at Unstampabelles here

The newest challenge is

Tea in the Garden

 

and the TWIST is use some watercolouring somewhere……

I started by creating my background with my water colour paints.  The section top right is meant to look like a flowering vine.  Hope you can see that!  I added die cut MFT tea pot and cups.  I added a butterfly stencil (I raided the kiddos art supplies for that one!) to the tea pot.  I used a new makeup brush from Daiso it is in appearance like the new stencilling brushes I have seen people using.  The brush gave great results with very little effort however I don’t think the handle will last long I feel if I put to much pressure the handle is going to snap! Can’t expect much for $2.80 though.  I finished the pot and cups with overflowing punched leaves and flowers with liquid pearl centres.

I have been know to sit outside with a pot of tea, a book and my knitting, especially if the weather is nice.  I’m a bit like goldilocks it can’t be too hot or too cold! just right.  Sometimes it has to be the front step as my dog likes to be included!

I am going to link this up to the August challenge at Bizzy Becs Store here

Anything goes

Thanks for stopping

Lil Michelle flying some balloons…

Hello

I thought it was time this little lady had some inky love.

Today’s card I am linking up to the following challenges

Seize the Birthday here – no topping

The 30 day colouring challenge here 

The paper players here

Scrapbook boutique mood board here

Here is my card

I started by stamping my image from ABS Lil Michelle.  I masked the teddy so Michelle could hold some balloons.  I did momentarily think of stamp surgery but decided against it and went with the mask. I then coloured her using my water colour paints and pencils.  I coloured her skin with a water based marker.  I then added all the mounts to the card front and the die cut gold balloons using PTI heart-2-heart #2 from unknown cardstock.  I finished by hand drawing the balloon strings with a fine liner and adding black twine to the balloon ends.

This card is off to a family friend’s birthday party at Inflatable World over the weekend.

Thanks for stopping

Cheers

Edit – I just realised I have entered more than 3 challenges which excludes my entry to SBB. I must remember next time! 🙂

A little more water colouring…

Hello

I have one more card from my watercolour play to share

I am linking up to the monthly challenge at Stamplorations here

I stamped and coloured onto watercolour paper. The darker areas of colouring I added using water colour pencils from the same set. The stamp is Stamplorations Blooming buds and the sentiment is from Jane’s Doodles Doodle Flowers II.

Thanks for stopping

Pretty Peonies and Anemones from Jane’s Doodles…

Hello

As I had hoped I got a little uninterrupted crafty time yesterday. So I was able to get out a watercolour set I have had for a few months. So I have now given them a warm welcome.

Sorry lots of pics today.

Today’s card(s) I am linking to the following challenges.

The Paper Players #252 – The Great Outdoors here

and

Get Creative Challenges #18 – must include flowers here

and

I took my colour inspiration from this website/advertising pic I found here

 

I used Jane’s Doodles Anemone for this card. I used a mask and stamped the image multiple times with Memento tuxedo black before colouring with Royal Langnickel watercolour set.

and

This set of 2 cards I again masked and coloured. The sentiment is from Jane’s Doodles Doodle Flowers II.

and

This card I did a little different I swooshed around some colour before I stamped my images from Jane’s Doodles Pretty Peonies, Anemone and Doodle Flowers II. I think I like this result better as the black stamping is on top.

and

For this card I watercoloured my paper in blocks and then stamped. I finished this card with a few clear sequins.

These two final cards I am linking to the challenge at

Freshly Made Sketches #194 here

For these cards I watercoloured an area first before stamping the image from Stamplorations About a rose in memento tuxedo black ink. The sentiment is from Jane’s Doodles Pretty Peonies finished with a line drawn with a fineliner. The card on the left I also added a few clear sequins.

Thanks for making it all the way to here! I have managed to ink up a few NBUS sets, use a piece or two of card stock from my stash and get my watercolours wet.

Cheers
