Watercolour Wednesday - Grassy Grove

 Hello on another lovely and warm Wednesday. We have had some gorgeous weather for the past week which is really lovely to see. How long it will last...no one knows but I am enjoying it while it's here. For my watercolour card this week I have used the Grassy Grove stamp set and watercoloured onto Fluid 100 watercolour paper. I literally soaked the paper with a spritzer full of water and stamped the first set of plants in the centre. As it was very wet, it bled onto the paper quite a bit which I was happy about. It has given me some lovely colours throughout the whole image. I did soak up some of the ink that had bled across the sky using a piece of kitchen tissue but am really pleased with the tinted green effect.

Technique Tuesday - Designer Series Paper - So Sincere

 Hello again. Today's card is a follow on from yesterday's card. Like most crafters, we don't particularly like wasting papers so once again using the Countryside Inn papers, I cut these 3 frames down to blend together. I used the So Sincere stamp set again for the sentiments. I have many great sentiment stamp sets and this is one of them. It's one thing to make a card for someone but it's even better with the appropriate sentiment. 

I started with a Blueberry Bushell card base and adhered the frames to the base of the card. I used a small white mat for the sentiment and using the Stampin' Write Marker pen in Blueberry Bushell to add the dots all around it. The technique today is using the strips and shapes of DSP wherever you can as they really are so very useful.
