It's technique Tuesday and today we are bringing you the Watercolour Technique Blog Hop!
If you have arrived from Stefanie's blog, welcome to my blog! Wasn't Stefanie's project lovely?
I'll put my hands up, watercolouring is certainly not my forte. It's a skill to be worked on and improved for sure.
That's not to say I didn't enjoy experimenting with my Water Painters and reinkers!
You may be wondering where the watercolouring is on this card? If you look closely you'll see the watercolouring on the die cut leaves....
The intention was to create a watercolour background but I just wasn't happy with it so instead I die cut the foliage from it instead.
The results are softly coloured leaves with a subtle depth - it's much clearer in person but I've done my best to capture this in my photography.

My name is Kim and I live in Somerset in the UK. You'll find lots of inspiration here today from Stampin' Up! demonstrators and papercrafters from Australia, Canada, USA and the UK!

Regular followers of my blog will know that Seaside Spray is one of my favourite colours. I'll be devastated when this colours goes at the end of April, so expect it to be used a lot more between now and then. You could say I was just a little bit pleased to see it feature in more than one of the Designer Series Papers that are available in the new Mini Catalogue.
For this card I've created my own patterned paper using the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks and my Sponge Brayer. I started by applying Misty Moonlight to the centre in a horizontal direction and then added Seaside Spray to the top and the bottom, blending it into the Misty Moonlight.
The Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper has retired today but hopefully you managed to get some before it was gone. I added Adhesive Foam Sheets to the back of it and die cut 'HEY' using the Playful Alphabet dies.
I hope you've enjoyed my project today! If you have the time I'd love you to leave me a comment to let me know you stopped by. You can subscribe to receive my blog posts by email here.
Next up is Sandra and she has a lovely project to show you. Simply click on her name in the list below to visit her blog and then repeat, working your way down the list and back to the top, until you end up back here!
Roll Call
Happy New Year!
My first project of the year are these two cards that I have created for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights!
The theme, as always, is Thank You
Did you know that you can check out all of the thank you cards entered by papercrafters from all of the world by clicking on the banner below?
I've selected patterned paper with muted colours so that these cards could be suitable for those who perhaps don't like pastel or bright colours
My first card predominantly features the colour Gray Granite. The card base has been completely covered with Peony Garden Designer Series Paper - there is a feint pattern to it (you'll see it better in the image below).
I have added a circle (die cut from the Stitched Shape dies) fron another pattern from the same pack of DSP - the background colour is white and it has a floral pattern in Gray Granite. Underneath it is a Scalloped Circle (die cut from the Layering Circles dies) in Gray Granite.
I've added die cuts from the Forever Flourishing dies directly onto the circle. I've used Gray Granite, Whisper White and Vellum Cardstock for a nice mix of neutral colours and texture.
The sentiment is from the Prized Peony stamp set.
