Flowers and sunshine

Hi everyone, I hope you're having a good week!

Inspired by the ColourQ colours and the theme at Less Is More - Hello Sunshine, I made my one layer card by inking the stamps with SU! markers and spritzing with water before stamping for a watercolour effect. It's a little bit unpredictable and you can get some interesting effects but be careful not to spray on too much water as it can make puddles on your card!

Not too much sunshine around today so photographing was a bit tricky. I used the flash but not convinced it's an OK photo.

Sending happy thoughts

Hi everyone, I hope you had a good weekend and are well!

I've made this card using the pretty ColourQ selection. The little flowers are stitched flower die-cuts popped up on 3D foam.

Have a beautiful day

Hi eveyone, I hope you're well!

This is a card I've made with the ColourQ colours.

I stamped the mountains and sentiment in black and did some watercolour on the mountains and sky. The little tree stamp was inked with SU! markers with second generation stamping for the trees in the distance and added Wink of Stella on the snowy mountain tops which looks nice IRL but you can't really see it in the photo!

Two little owls

Hello crafting friends. Happy Saturday, I hope you're having a nice day!

This is my entry for ColourQ #276, also linking up to Time Out where the theme is Valentine's Day with the optional twist of hearts and Fusion - Two Hearts.

To make my card, I brushed on ink over a cloud template, stamped and coloured the owls and fussy cut them, added diecut branch, sentiment and hearts.

Have a lovely day!

Hi everyone, I hope you're well and the weather isn't being too unkind!

I've made another card for Time Out as the photo inspiration is lovely this week and I wanted to have another go! This time I've taken inspiration from the row of cushions and the flower pattern

The flowers were stamped in black Memento and coloured with Promarkers and then I cut out three squares from the larger image.

The flowers were coloured using the ColourQ selection and am also linking to Darnell's fun NBUS (never before used schtuff) and CAS-ology where the theme is also NBUS, as this is the first trip out for the Blossoming Buds stamp set and

Flowers

Hi everyone, hope all is well with you. Would like to show you a card I've made for a few challenges. I stamped the flowers in black Memories Ink and coloured with Promarkers.

Inspiration for layout taken from Vicki's Muse #66 card, theme and colours from ColourQ #240, Inkspirational #55 - Pink and Green and STAMPlorations - May challenge: Stamps and Flowers.

This is actually "mark 2" of the card. The first one had some twine and a different sentiment, however after DH told me the sentiment (which was placed just above the flowers) looked like a "weird spiders web" I decided I had to redo it! I have to admit I do struggle with getting a sentiment in the right place so I hope this looks OK.

Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely day xx
