There's No Place Like 'Home'

Hello and Welcome to Today's Post.

It's time for a new challenge over at Happy Little Stampers.

It's a new month so it's our 

Anything Goes with Watercolours

with the optional twist of  'HOME'

I had a hard time photographing this so

 please excuse the quality here.

To start I watercoloured my background with

Tim's Oxide Inks adding drops of water

and touches of iridescent medium.

I then cut out part of my HLS House die

and a stitched slope where I placed my

heat embossed sentiment from STAMPlorations

then framed and popped it.

Finished with some Liquid Pearls 

in front of the house and pearls

beside the sentiment.

Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! 

Check out all the details HERE.

IF YOU USE STAMPS BY HAPPY LITTLE STAMPERS 

AND YOU ARE OUR RANDOM WINNER, 

YOUR PRIZE WILL BE DOUBLED!

That's it for me today.

Don't forget to pop over and see 

what my Team Mates created

then come join in the fun this month.

Hope to see you in our Gallery.

Thanks for dropping in.

What's 'Trending' at Just Us Girls?

How 'awesome' that Chris chose those 

fabulous powder dies as our Trend at Just Us Girls.

I have only recently bought these addicted little items

and am having so much fun each time I get them out.

My powders are Brusho's

I started by heat embossing my butterfly image with
white embossing powder onto water colour paper then
 added brusho's. After that dried I cut it out with a
stitched postage stamp die popping it
in front of white card stock and then to my card base.

I am sure you are going to want to play with this Challenge so
pop over Here and check out what our June Guest Estelle
and the Super Talented Design Team
have created for your inspiration.
See you there!

Just to make you all envious you may already know
I will be swanning around at a Craft Show
with good friends including Cheryl Wright
(I know a lot of you know her)
when this goes live!
She is coming up again from Melbourne.
We will have a crafty time ahead as Cheryl is coming home with me
and staying for a whole week. Yay!

Thanks for dropping by
