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 -

Simon Says Stamp Stitched Flakes wafer die, SSS White Woodgrain & Fog Gray card stock,  May Arts twine, Simon's Black Pigment ink, Rock Candy Distress Glitter, Glitter Duster, Canson XL watercolour paper, Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape,  Tonic Guillotine, Acrylic Blocks, Tonic Scissors, SSS Tacky Glue.

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.
