Watercolor Words

Watercolor Words "Just for You" card


Tried a new technique for the background of this card.  Using a sheet of acetate and some colourful ink refills. I spritzed the acetate sheet with some water first then added drops of colour and using my aqua painter swirled it around to cover the areas which I wanted coloured. Then I positioned my piece of white cardstock over the wet ink and pressed into it so that the colour transferred to my white cardstock. Because it's wet, I left the coloured sheet to dry before adding my butterflies cut from black cardstock and my saying from the Watercolor Words stamp set. Love how the black just "pops" with the coloured background.

Guy Greetings Masculine Card

Guy Greetings Birthday Card

Happy Birthday to my brother-in-law.  For his special day I made this card, which was showcased in my July workshop. To make it special I added his name and the number 60 using the alphabet sizzlits - an old set as well as a star.

I also added a concertina drop down surprise, so that I could add, Husband, Dad and Brother (I added the in-law in marker pen), so that the whole family could sign the card. This is held together by a Arrow clip from the Hung Up Cute Clips set and accessorised with Lost Lagoon ribbon.

Club SUM Workshop 7 July 2015

Tonight I had my Stampin' Up! ladies make two cards.

The first one is a male card.  I don't do many of these, but the Guy Greetings stamp set lends itself to some great male cards, including this one.

The second we made is a very nice floral card which can be used also for any occasion. Using aqua painters I watercoloured the flowers with Watermelon Wonder and Daffodil Delight.

This card lends itself to so many colour variations. Here's one I did using Marina Mist, for a blue version.
