products on our cards this week.

I have created a card featuring Penny Blacks Star Gazing Friends clear stamp which I have stamped using Ink On 3's Fadeout Ink Pad & water coloured using Altenew watercolour pans.

 To create the background I blended Peacock Feathers, Seedless Preserves, Blueprint Sketch & Black Soot Distress Inks onto Canson XL watercolour paper & I then added some  white gouache. Once dry I added a wash of water over the top to really get the colours moving and blend them well, & once dry I added some Simply White Crystal Drops & splats of white gouache.

The sentiment is from Simon's Winter Scene stamps set & has been stamped in Simon's Black Pigment Ink.

 Other supplies used -


As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring our challenge with a $50 voucher for the fabulous 



I have another card to share that I created 2 or 3 weeks ago and have forgotten to share!


This card features Colorado Craft Company beautiful Big & Bold Missing You Peony Stamp Set which  have stamped onto Canson XL Watercolour paper using Ink On 3 Fadeout Ink Pad & water coloured with Altenew watercolour pans.  

I coloured this pretty image over a couple of days as it's so big & I teamed it with a sentiment from Simon Says Stamps Leafy Frames stamps set which I stamped in Simon's Black Pigment Ink.

I simply added one of Simon's cute Flickering Butterflies, Hero Arts clear gems, Simply White Nuvo Crystal Drops and a few flicks of left over paint to embellish.
