A little while ago i shared a video of a card that i made for Cat that featured a kitty that i had hand drawn, inked and water coloured. You may remember that i had drowns two kitties, so i decided to make use of the second one for today’s card.
And if you have been following my craftiness, you will know that i am a sucker for a good pun (and maybe even some bad ones!! heehee). And what better stamp set to make my own than Lawn Fawn’s Milo’s ABCs. Love this set! I love that they are close cut so you can stamp a whole word in one go, and i love that they are skinny so you can fit longer words and greetings on there too!
I haven’t included the water colouring of the kitty in today’s video, but in case you were wondering, i used the Kuretaki Gansai Tambi watercolour set.
Whats this? A mid week post?! goodness me – there must be a disturbance in the force!
Nah, no disturbance, just some extra cards to share this week. 🙂
For the last few weeks i have been playing with my watercolours and practising my hand lettering lettering, using both brushes and pens. I have found some awesome challenges on Instagram which are really inspiring, and help keep the motivation up. If you want to check it out, you can see my feed over at my Instagram page.
I can say that i am now feeling a lot more confident about my hand lettering – and i am really enjoying the journey.
I decided to merge my card making passion with a little hand lettering in this valentine’s card. It’s not really a particularly difficult card, but it gives such a lovely soft result in the end, so i wanted to share it with you. The best part about watercolours is that you don’t need expensive paints to get a lovely result (although i admit that splashing on a little watercolour cardstock will yield the best rewards!
Here’s the video… enjoy… and i might just have another video or two to share before the week is out!
V- day is just around the corner, and i have been on a craft overdrive this week, making lots of Valentine’s cards to bring into Craig’s work – so i will have extra videos to share with you guys this week! yeay!
This is a card that i made for my friend Roy to give to his other half– i wanted something that wasn’t too moochy, or very pink!
I made So many whoopsies when making this card – but, like with most things in life, it all worked out in the end! Be sure to watch the video to see how i manage to deal with the mistakes and make them work.
As for me, I am counting down the days until Thursday, when my mummsy and gang come to visit us! There will be 8 of us under one roof – it sure is going to be cosy! but I can’t wait!
