    Let’s meet for coffee soon

    February 16, 2019

    Hi everyone For this card I used distress oxide barn door Ink and picked raspberry distress ink to create my ink smooshed background. Then I copic coloured and fuzzy cut some images from Altenew coffee love set. The sentiment is stamped in black archival ink direct to the watercolour background using my mini Misti. The current CAS watercolour challenge for February 2019 is to use red and pink. and the Just Add Ink challenge is red, pink and another colour – for me it’s grey. I am also entering this into the HLS Feb watercolor Challenge Thanks for visiting me today, hope you have a happy day.

    I am here for you | The Flower Challenge reminder #29

    February 15, 2019

    Hey everyone Hope your having a good February.  It’s reminder time already at The Flower Challenge. Here is my entry using a brand new die to me from Altenew: Leafy Frame and one of my newer floral stamp sets by neat and tangled. I ink smooshed my stacked frame with distress ink – Victorian velvet and spun sugar. I used the same colours on my watercolour background. The sentiment from neat and tangled is stamped in archival black ink.  I hope you will check out the inspiration from the rest of the design team and join in with us this month.

    The Flower Challenge May – Vellum or Acetate

    May 4, 2018

    Can you believe we are in May already??? It’s starting to fell like spring here in Scotland, yay. I was inspired by all the flowers beginning to shoot up for this months card for The Flower Challenge. To start I cut a piece of cold pressed watercolour card to 3” x 6” and also made a custom size cardbase (still to make the envelope). I used ranger archival black ink, which is waterproof, and a little bit of masking to create my scene with a Bloom from Altenew Golden Garden set.
