Spring Wedding

I'm thrilled to bits !!  This is my first DT project for Kuretake UK !!

I have designed a card with a Spring Wedding in mind but it could really be anytime of year.

For this card I used the gorgeous, glittery Wink of Stella pens together with Clearly Besotted Stamps set "Bridal Bouquet".  I coloured directly onto the stamps with the pens before stamping them onto watercolour card.  As you can see, this worked really well.   I also did this for the leaves but used a Hero Arts ink for the veins in the leaves.  The two inks worked perfectly together.

After fussy cutting them out I arranged them on the card.

I lightly watercoloured the background with Gansai Tambi Watercolours using Cornflower Blue (61), and added splats of Persian Blue (63) and Dark Pink (34) with a broad tip Zig Brush H2O.

A sprinkling of sparky sequins was all that was left and I used Zig Two Way Glue for these.

Well, I hope you like my first project for Kuretake UK !  I certainly enjoyed making it and using all these gorgeous pens !  Keep an eye out for my next project !

Thank's for popping by !

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Let's Get Sentimental !!

Thank you so much to everyone who joined in with our Anything Goes Challenge !


It's Wednesday and 

Yes, we have a new challenge over at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge !

The theme this week is 

Let's Get Sentimental !

The Design Team are this week showcasing Tim Holtz Products.

For this week's challenge, as always, Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a fabulous $50 voucher for the Simon Says Stamp Store!

Of course I had to pull out the crazy birds for this challenge !  Don't you just love them !

I also received my MISTI in the post this week from Simon Says Stamp.  I was a little bit on the fence about it but just for the fact that you can stamp twice I love it !  I find that stamping onto watercolour card especially you don't get a fantastic look but being able to stamp twice has rectified that somewhat.  There are hundreds of videos about of different techniques you can use with the MISTI and I look forward to trying a few of them !

The colours I used from my Gansai Tambi watercolours are :

139 - purple
43 - mid yellow
30 - cadmium red
33 - orange
20 - black
10 - white
40 - lemon yellow
57 - turquoise green
56 - marine green
35 - carmine red

You can see a list of everything I used below !

We hope you can join us in our challenge this week and we look forward to seeing what you make !

She loved it !
