Celebrate!

Hi there! How are you all?

I've made a card today that is for my best friend's daughter. She just got her provisional drivers licence so I thought she would like a card to celebrate. How quickly the young 'uns grow up. I remember when this girl was born.. time flies.


Here is my card 


The first thing I did was emboss my sentiment onto watercolour paper. Then I used two brushes - one clean and wet to lay down some water and then another to pick up my brusho watercolours and add it to the water I had laid on the paper. I repeated this process for each colour.

Once I was finished with the colour I gave the top and bottom a very light spray of water to get the ink to run a little.

I decided to mount it onto black cardstock so the colours would really pop.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges


(my sentiment is from STAMPlorations)

Thanks so much for looking xx

    Love that gorgeous, bright rainbow Kylie! You have great control over those Brushos my friend . . . I'm afraid they run away with me and take control completely . . . I MUST master them! Hazel xx

    Love your watercolor card which I put in my wc folder. I followed your tips on how to drill a whole in the top of the Brusho bottle cap and it works well.
