Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge - Red

Hello!

Well April flew by in a flash for me! What a busy month!

I'm here to start off the month of May with the Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge. This month we have the optional twist of "red". Red is one of my favourite colours so I cannot wait to explore our gallery. :-)

For my card I did some freehand watercolouring and created some red flowers. The only stamping was the sentiment.

Sentiment is from HLS Doodled Flowers. Watercolours are Winsor & Newton Cotman.

I hope you can join us this month with a little watercolouring of your own!

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Little Stampers March Watercolour Challenge - Smoosh!

Hello!

I can't believe another month has passed by already! It's March! Next thing we'll know it will be Easter!

I'm here with my card for this month's Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge where the optional twist is "smoosh". I might have gone overboard with my smooshing. I heat embossed my flowers and then smooshed away to create my background. I used three different Distress Inks and some iridescent solution for extra sparkle, spraying with some water before the smoosh action began. This was a very wet panel!

I used HLS Doodled Flowers stamps.

Thank-you for coming by to visit. I hope you join us in the watercolour fun this month!

Happy Little Stampers February Watercolour Challenge

Hello!

Happy February! Today is the start of the February Watercolour Challenge at Happy Little Stampers. For my card this month I stamped HLS Doodled Flowers, coloured the flowers and leaves with Kuretake Zig Real Brush watercolour markers. I then masked flowers and leaves and went over the top of everything with Prussian Blue Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolour. I held my breath as I unmasked it all and then breathed a sigh of relief! It turned out just as I had hoped. :-) Then I die cut and stamped the sentiment and adhered it all together.

I used HLS Doodled Flowers stamps and Wplus9 Whole Lotta Happy stamp and die. Paper is Arches Hot Press 300gsm smooth watercolour paper (it's beautiful to work with).

I hope you're inspired to join us in the fun! We had so many amazing entries for the January challenge and I know February will be no different!

Thanks for visiting!

CAS(E) This Sketch 187

Hello!

It's time for the new CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge! The sketch is perfect for those of us who like things all lined up neatly. ;-) I made a Get Well card with bright flowers.

I used Happy Little Stampers Doodled Flowers stamps and coloured in Copics.

It's been such a busy few weeks at work. Combine that with two kids who've been sick and I'm a bit tired! We had a 9th birthday party here last week-end with 16 little girl guests. Oh my! The mayhem and noise! Haha! This week-end my eldest daughter is playing in a concert on Saturday with rehearsals all afternoon prior. Then she has water polo trials on Sunday afternoon. There's no rest for the wicked, as they say. :-)

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Birthday - Doodled Flowers

Hello!

I received some new Happy Little Stampers stamps in the mail yesterday. As I looked at them last night I knew just what I wanted to create first - a birthday card for my little girl's friend. These big numbers are wonderful! And I just love Doodled Flowers!

The colour scheme was chosen by my daughter. The flowers are her friend's favourite colours.:-)

I'm entering this into the Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes challenge. This is an ongoing open challenge where we can show off what we do with HLS stamps. A great place to go when you have a new set that you've been playing with.

Thanks for visiting!
