Diamonds card
Hi friends, yes it's Saturday again and of course
I have another card to share with you today!
Back to two of my favourite colours again
blue and purple....and a touch of silver
this time too ;)
It's been 30c for the last few days here, I even
saw 31c at one stage! Cooler and rain today but
easier to sleep at night I hope now.
I mention this as I tried a spot of watercolouring
and it all went horribly wrong much to my horror.
My OH said it was probably the heat and the card/inks
reacting badly........hmmm I was still worried
friends!!!! Panic station time even!!!
Anyway much to my relief I tried it again today
as it's cooler......much cooler and YES all was back
to normal again. Can't say how relieved I was as
I do LOVE to watercolour !
Now I am wondering how all my crafty friends
manage if they live in hotter climes.........any
answers ? maybe you all have air conditioning
though?
Right....... sorry enough of my rambling again,
come and have a quick peek at my card.
Enjoy your week whatever you have planned ;)
ps. My OH's fairy house is almost complete,
I am SOOOO excited, photo soon ;)
Also our son is due to move house next week
and it's all going slow down the chain...it may
not happen now ;(

wow super little card Viv well done ... I have not tried watercoloring yet so cant help you with the "heat" questiong but wow it has been hot ... looking forward to seeing the fairy house ... os sorry to hear your son is having "moving problems" ... we are actually in the same boat at the moment with trying to sell Aunties ... we just seem to be constantly chasing solicitor and estate agents it is a very stressful time ... hope you are having a great weekend ... happy crafting and love sandy xx
Thanks Faith......that header took me a LONG time to make, had to buy the font (gulp) and then mess about adding all sorts of bits to it!
Hi Viv
Fabulous card... Love the colours ...
Hugs Sylviexx
It's very pretty Viv (Debs! LOL!) - and I'm very glad your water colours are behaving again!

Lovely card - love the colours :)
These cool colours watercoloured with the diamonds create a beautiful effect, Viv! Glad to hear that you are enjoying the cooler weather. Great to see you at Less is More :)
This is beautiful! I love the look of the watercolour on the embossed panel. Gorgeous!
Even though I'm in Canada, our summers are very hot and humid so we have air conditioning. I didn't realize that heat and humidity would affect watercolours!
All the best with your son's move!
gorgeous card, viv... perfect take on the LIM challenge!! your weather sounds like my weather... hot and humid then a bit cooler and rainy!!
What a perfect combination for this challenge, the embossed diamonds and watercolouring - inspired!
