Spotlight

A Birthday before christmas required a quick but elegant card,

so I tried the spotlight technique

added coordinating DSP

something was missing.....so added the 'for you' top left

I used the stitched oval framelits, and watercoloured the flower with

the clear wink of stella and coordinating ink

emboss resist technique

Well, thats nearly a whole week gone by without posting,

so without further ado, I'm going to share a recent watercolour technique class.

The first was using emboss resist,

so I stamped with versamark, and heat embossed with white powder.

Added some ink to a tile or block, spritzed with water,

and did a wash, starting from the centre outwards,

to give the flower a darker centre.

It was a challenge, as everyone wanted to be too controlled,

and spend too much time, whereas its meant to be quick and free!

I accidentally got some blue ink splats on my finished card,

so I added some more to look like it was part of the plan teehee.

So, that didn't go according to plan......

pop by to see if the next one did!......

Meantime have a great weekend

Happiest Botanicals

Merry Monday to you!

Here's a recent card I made using Botanical Builder Framelits,

and Birthday Blooms.

The Botanicals are an amazing set that can be used for so many different styles.

It comes with optional extras like papers, vellum, embellishments etc.

I chose to keep it fairly simple here,

using some vellum for the leaves,

and plain card for the dimensional flower.
