Watercolour Wednesday - Lifetime of Love

 Hello on yet another wet Wednesday! Yes, it's pouring cats and dogs once again here! We really should all have webbed feet, we would all get around much easier! Anyway... today's watercolour card is a very simple one. Using the same type of die cut as I did yesterday from the Thoughtful Expressions set, I stamped several flowers and watercoloured them in. Very straightforward and simple but mostly though it was fun.  I added a mat of DSP (Designer Series Paper) to the card blank from the Subtles range of papers. A sentiment from the stamp set of Lifetime of Love onto one of the Natures Prints dies completes today's card. 

Watercolour Wednesday - Gift of Giving and Joy To You

 Here we are on this very wet Wednesday. Here in the UK we are having the most horrendous amount of wind and rain. In fact we have had severe weather warnings so to wash away the rain I chose to make a really fresh and happy coloured card. Well I think it is anyway! I used the watercolour brush and washed the gorgeous soft pink of Bubble Bath ink all over the centre of the white mat. Once it was dry and using a Stazon Jet Black Ink pad and the Gift Of Giving stamps, I stamped the lovely little gift boxes and then started to give them a lovely watercolour wash in the individual colours. 

I matched colours up with the ribbon which is Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon. I mounted the white mat onto a piece of pink in the Bubble Bath card then added these to the White card base. I finished the card with the sentiment from Joy To You stamp set.

 

Watercolour Wednesday - Jolly Words

 Hello again. Today's card started somewhat different to what it turned out. I played for a while with it and in the end, I didn't like so I cut off the edges! I used a Lost Lagoon card base the same size as the C6 card base but I made it wider the higher. I made a blue, pink and yellow sky for the card mat. By adding all of the colours to a large acrylic block and I soaked the watercolour card very well too, and spritzed the ink all over the block too and sploshed it onto the wet card and moved it around quite a bit to blend the colours really well into it. Once I dried it, I stamped the image across and watercoloured the image. I adhered the coloured mat to the white piece of card and then onto the card base. 

 

Watercolour Wednesday - Designer Series Paper - Happy Labels

 Today's card is a bit of a cheat to be honest! I took a White card mat, stamped an acrylic block onto Pretty Peacock ink pad and added some water to it. Once mixed up, I sprawled the watercoloured ink over the centre of the mat. I didn't delicately brush it on, I just swirled it over the mat and left it to dry. Once dry, I dry embossed it using the striped mat from the Stripes and Splatters set of 2 folders. I then used a silver marker pen that I had and ran it along the stripes of the embossed mat. It gives it a little sparkle.

I added the mat to a Pretty Peacock card base along with some scraps of DSP from the Delightfully Eclectic, large pack of papers. A few of the scrap flowers from another set of dies and the sentiments from Happy Labels stamp set completes this one. I love the special sentiment on the inside of this one...I just want to hug you... isn't that just gorgeous?

Watercolour Wednesday - Awesome Otters

Today I wanted to use the Awesome Otters and the Layering Diorama Dies. I love the way the shape of the dies just roll around, just like a pond. I die cut 2 of the dies in white card and then stamped the otters onto the smaller mat. Using my Watercolour pencils and water brush, I coloured in and washed the colour over the whole image.

 Adding the white die cut behind the coloured mat, makes the top mat pop I think. I used a piece of the FREE Saleabration papers called Simply Marbleous. I did tell you there were lots of FREE items to chose from! These papers blend so well with the dies and the otters. Then a simple message completes today's card.
