Watercolouring Happiness Abounds with Ink Refills

It’s been a little while since I did some watercolouring which is one of my favourite techniques. This beautiful flower from the Happiness Abounds stamp set was just perfect for getting back into it. I used the Colour Inkspiration CI136 challenge photo as inspiration with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #570. I watercoloured the…

Birthday Cup of Tea

A bit of a change from all my Christmas projects to play along with the Colour Inkspirations #CI133 challenge. As I saw this photo inspiration, part of me wanted to use my favourite bird from the Perched in a Tree stamp set but I resisted! Instead I’ve opted for a teacup stamped in Coastal Cabana…

Sketchtember Challenge – Day 29 Sepia Technique

For my card on Day 29 of my Sketchtember Challenge I’ve used Water Painters for the Sepia Technique which is reminiscent of those old photographs. I really enjoyed doing this style of Watercolouring with natural tones. I started by stamping the image in Soft Suede on Shimmery White Cardstock. Then I worked in the other…
