Believe in the Magic

It's Photo Week at Just Us Girls

and our New Designer Lisa E has chosen a cutie!

Now you won't find many snowmen in my craft room,

luckily I have a very old Gina K stamp set called

There's Snow One Like You

and there are two 'snowpeople' too.

I heat embossed them in black, coloured 

and fussy cut carefully.

My background is lightly coloured in blue

and added lots of snow.

Die cut a partial circle after stamping

some snowflakes.

Added some Liquid Pearls and glitter

to part of the hats and positioned them.

Finished with a big snowflake with pearl centre,

sentiment, inked edges and

on to white card base.

This was rather fun to play around with.

Check out what our Guests - 

Chrissie and Stef created then

Love to see yours in our Gallery.

Sending my snowpeople over to 

My Time to Craft Christmas

Challenge #26 - Things Beginning with S

Thanks for popping in.

Till next time - 

 

It's Your Day

 The first thing I noticed when I saw the 

January Challenge at

 CAS Mix Up Challenge

was the beautiful card by my friend Nancy

and I commented to her at the time I would like to

watercolour one of the STAMPlorations In Bloom stamps

that we both have and use Lindy's Magical's too.

Thanks Nancy for being my enabler. 

I finally got to make it.

I used the In Bloom Precious Plumerias

with a variety of bright coloured Lindy's Magical's

and Ken Olivers Metallic Metals

after heat embossing in white onto

Canson WC paper.

Wetting my paper I let the fun begin

adding colours till I was happy with the result.

Added some splatters and sentiment from

Inspired by Stamping (no longer in business)

Attached to metallic card base to blend with the

watercolour cream colour.

I have had a blast playing around with different

loose watercolouring. Something I haven't done

with stamped images for ages. Now makes three LOL

My Mix is - 

Watercolouring, Magical's, heat embossing, 

stamping, splattering.

Thanks for visiting.

Catch you again soon.

Sending Hugs

Having a little fun play time for the

CAS Mix Up Challenge and for the first one of the year

we are to do loose water colouring.

Details Here

I thought I would try something a little different 

by die cutting my images with acetate and inking

but was too thick so were then cut

with watercolour paper. While they were still together

I wet the paper and sprinked with Lindy's Magical's

in Alpine Ice Rose, Cathedral Pines Green

and Nuvo Cherry Bomb Shimmer Powder. 

After I had taken them out

I sponged through the negative cuts to use as a background, 

adding more colour to the die cut flowers as needed.

I then added some Distress Grit Paste through

Tim's Speckles stencil before adding the flowers

 in a different order to the front using the 

back watercolouring as a shadow.

Here's a close up. I had a hard time getting a clear photo

of the whole card.

Hope this qualifies as loose watercolouring.

Added a sentiment from a CB tag die

and tied a pink cotton bow.

Attached to card base to complete.

My Mix is - loose watercolouring, sponging, stencilling,

die cutting, stamping.

Hoping to make a more traditional 

loose water colouring card before the end of this challenge.

I am having so much fun.

Thanks for a fabulous Challenge.
