Good Wednesday Morning Ladies,
Just a quickie today as Paul and I had a 'date night' last night, I think it was suggested as a bit of a distraction as I can't stop worrying about the MRi test results, which I think is understandable.
I did actually get a card made rather than sat not being able to concentrate on anything!
It's be no means perfect, but then is watercolour meant to look perfect?? I stamped the Tim Holtz poinsettia onto Masking paper and fussy cut a couple of times. I took a piece of watercolour card and stamped the image three times using the masks so that I could overlap the poinsettia, I added gokd embossing powder and heat set. I popped the masks back on and added some script stamping in the background using Archival ink so that I could watercolour over it. I used a combination of Festive Berries & Aged Mahogany Distress Watercolour pencils to colour the poinsettias, then I used Old Paper distress ink to add colour around the flowers, drying and smooshing the old paper to give more texture. To finish I stamped the sentiment on watercolour card inked with old paper and layered onto old olive card. I used Old Olive card to create a DL card base, then edged my stamped piece with gold and adhered to card base.
I hope that you all have a lovely Wednesday,
Love and hugs to all,
