Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge

 Hi There! It's the 1st day of winter in Australia and it definitely feels like it here in Melbourne! It's also time for a new challenge at HLS Watercolour. As always, the theme is Anything Goes (watercolour), so why not give it a go!

I made a light wash and then stamped the script and bee with gold ink. Next I stamped the leaves and  sentiment with Karin Markers, spritzing with water for watercolour look. The flower was also stamped with the marker and blended with wet brush.

 Hi there! It's time for another challenge at HLS Watercolour Challenge.

I have loved seeing all the gorgeous Spring themed cards in blog-land, so although it's Autumn in Australia, I decided to make a colourful floral card with Stampin Up Artistically Inked stamp set.

I made a smooshed background with Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powder. The flowers were coloured with Karin Markers and Nuvo Shimmer Powder.  

The dies and stamps are from various companies. I'm so sorry, I forgot to record the details when I made the card, so I'll have to go through my supplies to check.

Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge (August)

 Hello there Crafty Friends! It's time for a new challenge at Happy Little Stampers Watercolour. 

The theme is always 'Anything Goes', so you can get out your watercolour paints, inks or your preferred medium and make whatever you like.

We have been back in Lockdown for the last couple of weeks and I've been missing our Beach House, so I was inspired to make this card...

The stamp is an old wood-mount from a defunct Australian company - Stamp It. They made great stamps and I miss them. 

I stamped on Baohong Cold Pressed Paper and coloured with Daniel Smith Water-colours and Karin Markers. 

The sentiment is from Stampers Annonymous.

I scratched up the inside of the Dinghy to make it look derelict.
