Hi there everyone! I hope you are well and being crafty today.
After I created my card for the current challenge at ATCAS (I used watercolouring), I sort of got the watercolouring bug and today I have been playing around. I had also remembered that Shery from STAMPlorations had shared a video so I went searching for it. This technique is so easy. I have never done anything like this before, so if I can do it then you can too!
Here is my card -
I simply used a watercolour pad (postcard size) and went to town with my SU inks and brush. The effect is pretty cool and I loved this considering it was my first attempt.
The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping called Everyday Greetings. As this set has never been inked up, I would like to enter my card into the brand new challenge being held over at DJKardKreations where Darnell is hosting a challenge for NBUS.
I would also love to enter this card over at TIME OUT challenges. I haven't had a chance to play along at this awesome blog yet. The theme there for this fortnight is Summer with the optional twist of flowers. I love my roses and I love summer.
Over at The Kraftyhands Challenge blog, they would like to see Floral Fancy! Last but not least, at Live & Love Crafts the theme is Summer Garden.
I'm off to find different flowers to create and see if I can teach myself how to do the foliage a bit better ;)
Thanks so much for looking xx
How cool to discover yet another talent you have, Kylie! I think you are a natural with watercolors if this is your first attempt!! I love your painting of roses!! Thank you so much for linking it up with my NBUS challenge!! I appreciate that very much!! Have a terrific week! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteOh, so pretty, Kylie! You definitely should explore watercolours more. :-)
ReplyDeleteThose roses are beautiful Kylie, so soft with just the right amount of definition. I have my mojo back for w/cs after a long hiatus, more playing forecast! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab job Kylie, I loved doing this from Shery's video too, makes you feel like a real painter! And your leaves look just fab as they are. I have a link on my ATSM last MYM challenge to a utube video that teaches you how to draw the flowers etc. I really enjoyed doing it. And we finally got you to join TIME OUT, so pleased you shared this card with us x
ReplyDeleteWow that's gorgeous. Thank you for sharing it in the Kraftyhands Challenge.

Beautiful card - the watercolouring is effective and perfect for your NBUS stamps too. I recently enrolled on the watercolouring for cardmakers class too and am slowly making my way through the lessons, enjoying it too ... just hope I get results as good as this in time :) Elizabeth xx
