Happy Friday!
I have been super excited to join in the Pretty Pink Posh watercolour blog hop - despite the foot woes (2 more broken bones found by the MRI)..
The image from the PPP blog, made me giddy with excitement -
I used a piece of Tim Holtz watercolour paper, Distress inks in Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers to create my watercolour background. I use a fave technique, wet my brush in clean water and paint across the paper, then dab ink onto my craft mat and using a very wet brush I apply it to the paper.
The sentiment is by Paper Smooches and you can see some little stars and dots scattered around, those stamps are by Simon Says Stamp.
I then mounted it to a card blank - voila! Finished card.
I love watercolouring, its one of my fave mediums. I find it very therapeutic.
Hope you all have a great weekend, I will be resting my foot, whilst playing at my desk.

ReplyDeleteOh Wow! this is gorgeous Claire… love the beautiful background you've created…. very pretty shades of blue… and the stamps you've used are fab… really like the stars and dots! :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that they've found two more broken bones… really hope things start to improve for you soon… you've been through such a rough patch recently.
Take good care of yourself
Hope you have a good weekend!

ReplyDeleteI love the sediment you've used, Claire, because your pretty watercolored card just screams HAPPY!! It's a joy!! On a sadder note, I'm terribly sorry to hear the news about the MRI results. Two new breaks or breaks they missed the first time?! Either way, it's a bummer, my friend. I send you big hugs and prayers for smooth healing! Hugs, Darnell
