on your cards!'
Oh my! I bet I wasn't the only one to
feel shock and horror at that little idea !
They do like to stretch us Limettes don't
they.
Which is why I can't resist joining in
of course. It makes us really think of
things in a new light. I came up with this
idea, ....yes I know more sea horses
AGAIN!
Just cannot stop using them lately. Anyway
I searched my hoard of peel off's (just can't
bring myself to get rid of them). Although I
now hate them with a passion of course! Well
maybe not anymore thanks to 'LIM' ;)
I used a sea horse peel off and a few bubble
type peel off's as a mask and then watercoloured
over them.I added lots of small sequins and tiny
beads and dotted some liquid pearls here and
there.
I then edged the image with a stitched border
and using a Copic to edge the whole thing for
more interest. I stuck that to a white A2
card base. Phew job done !
Enjoy your weekend whatever you have
planned. We are off to the Lake District soon
for another mini break, hope the weather
will be good like last time ;)
ps. As promised pics of the Dinosaur park
trip we had recently with our littlies ;)
.....some dinosaurs were sooo massive too,
gave the littlies an idea just how big they
were ;)

So, so pretty! (And is that a new blog header too? Gorgeous!) The sea horse is beautiful, and set off so perfectly by the soft background and bubbles. The dinosaur world photos are great - I bet the adults had as much fun as the kids! Enjoy your mini Lake District break :)
What a superbly creative use of peel offs - it makes me wish I hadn't given all mine away :( - I will have to replace them now :O - LOVE those photos, especially the one that looks as though that pterodactyl? is ready to take your little GS away (was that played for or serendipity?). Have a great break! Hazel xx

Thanks Sandy, I used the peel off's as a mask and then watercoloured over them and peeled them off to leave the white outline.HTH ;)
Gr8 idea to remove the peel off "mask" - creates a much softer image

Incredibly beautiful card Viv, the colours and style and sequins make it so different and stylish. I love the pics of the littles with the dinosaurs too bless them. x
Fun to see that you had such beautiful peel-offs in your stash...I really had to turn a lot of boxes upside down to find some stckers...
Love the colours as allways!
The pics give a good impression of how big they are; they look lovely!
Enjoy the bank holiday!
You just knew those peel-offs would come in handy didn't you Viv? That's whay I say about most things in my craft room!! Your sea horse is fabulous and masking is a clever way to use the sticky bits!
Lovely photos of the kids too!

Gorgeous seahorse. I believe I have this same set of Anita's Outlines~thank you for sharing this lovely design idea!
You are so clever to use the peel-off as a mask for your beautiful seahorse card, Vee! The colors are so pretty! Of course you know your littles stole the show, don't you?! What a cool dino exhibit!! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #7! Hugs, Dee

Hi Viv, Ohhh my goodness I love love the effect you achieved using the seahorse and bubbles peel offs. Never seen anything like it before especially something that leaves such a stunning images. You have done such a brilliant card.
Fantastic watercolouring, its so soft.
Watercoloring is gorgeous! Colors are so soft and fresh!
I did all my cards this week using Peel Offs as masks...don't know how else I would use them these days!
This is a fabulous card Viv, just your style too!
Thanks so much

Another divine card Viv. So glad you decided to give the peel-off/sticker challenge a try. Your sea horse is so beautiful. Sorry I am late commenting this week but it has been chaotic here. Adore the pictures of the little ones and the dinosaurs.
Thank you so much for joining us at Less is More.
