Watercoloured Fifth Avenue Foral

So the lovely Tracy and Louise are launching their own Down Under Challenge site http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com/  and they are calling for design team members so I thought I'd enter...

The challenge was to use things you love...  Well I loooooveeeeeeeeee watercolouring the Rose from Fifth Avenue Floral and I love Rich Razzleberry, my fav colour of all time...  love Cottage Wall DSP, Love little leaves diecut and Tiny Tags, again stamped with Rich Razzleberry...  And there's even the Sanded Die stampset, stamped in... you guessed it RICH RAZZLEBERRY!

Oh yes.... The colour of my card base is Kraft...  I LOVE KRAFT! (or should I be saying Crumb Cake!)

Keeping it Simple...

I've been asked to do some Thank You cards, and I was just experimenting abit...  This card is a CASE of something I saw on the web awhile ago but I forget where!!! I used a different stamp set and different colours then they did, but I love the way it turned out!!!  "Clean and Simple" cards aren't something I'm good at and am pleased with how it turned out!!!

I love Fifth Avenue Floral and don't think I have ever used it in a way that wasn't involving Watercolouring!!!!

Now I'm off to prep for wednesday class on "Vellum"  I have been putting it off all week!!!  

Fifth Avenue Floral

This is one of the cards I sold at the Go Otago Show on the weekend...

It's also one of the techniques at my April Technique class, the technique used on the card is called Floating Watercolouring, during my April Technique Class you will do a card similar to this using this technique and two other cards, one using Faux Stitching and the other Masking...

Technique Class runs from my home in Mornington on the 2nd Wednesday of every month from 7pm. Email me @ shellbellz@windowslive.com for more details!

Fifth Avenue Floral.... yum yum

I have to admit I had so much fun making this card, using the floating Watercolour technique or whatever it is called, and using my craft ink on the Sanded Big stamp and then embossing it, oh and you can't really tell from this card but yes, DIMENSIONALS!!!!!! Oh and the Oval All from the Spring Mini, love love love it!

Us Dunedin people are pretty much onto our forth day of RAIN, RAIN, RAIN and I'm over it... Where is Summer I ask?

Anyway, as I'm not a Full time Stampin Up Demonstrator, hi ho hi ho it's off to work I go!!!!!
