Blue Fish card

Good afternoon friends, just a very quick
 post today. Popping in to share another card
I have made.....and yes it as another sea
 themed one!
 
 
Like the last one I used some of my old
horrid ancient peel off's as a mask. Then
 I watercoloured over it and peeled them off. 
Who knew using peel off's could be ok ;)
 
 
I smooshed...(love that word) the colour over
 the white lines a tad this time for a softer
 effect.
See you again soon I hope as I have
another card to share ;)
 
 
ps. My lovely talented OH has almost 
finished his 2nd fairy house. I am sooo 
excited everytime I see it. Can't wait to
 share pics soon !
 
 
Also a very big welcome to Diane my latest 
follower...welcome aboard ;)

Watercolour butterfly card

Good afternoon everyone, warm and sunny here today.
I hope you all have the same :)
 
 
As it's Saturday once again I have another 'Less is More'
card to show you once more.
 
 
I was so happy when I saw this week's theme was to use
 
 
'WATERCOLOUR'
 
 
I seem to have done nothing else on my cards just lately.
 As you may just have noticed lol. ( Check out my
earlier card it would have been ideal I think....darn it!)
 
 
 
 
 
Anyway I did a few splats of watercolour and added
my new butterfly die after using more watercolour
on that also.
 
 
 
 
Hope you like it,and stayed tuned........ as there will be
 more of course :)
 
 
ps. Our son has put his gorgeous detached 4 bed house on the market.
It's only been a few days and he has been offered the full asking
price already!
 
 
 
 I am not surprised though, sneaky peek below.
It has 4 toilets !, main bathroom, 2 en suites and a downstairs loo.
Wish we could buy it but we want a bungalow again.
 
 
 
They have to move to be nearer schools for our grandson...such a
shame as they love it.Corner plot, quiet area, great field views at
 the back......sighs!

Just for You card

Good morning everyone, what happened to our sunny
 weather ? Dull here today, oh well I will just have to
make cards then  :)
 
 
 
It's 'One layer' card week over at 'Less is More' and
also  'OFF THE EDGE'.
 
 
 
Hmm my mojo has been a bit hit and miss lately, but
luckily this idea just 'evolved'..........and relax.  
I stamped the straight lines in light blue ink, then added
some darker blue distress ink. Then I stamped my
flowers in black and added some purple watercolouring
to the flowers. 
 
 
I used my new Clearly Besotted sentiment stamp too
 ( loving these). I get so excited when I see the pretty
pink wrapping paper these stamps arrive in.
 
 
 Mine arrived next day too, what great service.
Anyway back to my card lol, I know it's one layer
card week but I just had to add these little gems as
they matched so perfectly. 
 
 
Hope I am forgiven :)
 
 
Handy tip, when stamping and using dark colours, don't
wear white trousers!! ......disaster struck me and  mine
are now in the wash after much stain removal yikes !
 
 
Have a great weekend whatever you have planned.

Oooh and there are also prizes to be won....what's not
to like!
 
 
NBUS stands for ' Never before used shtuff' btw.
Ahem I think we all are guilty of having some of that.
This flower stamp is an example, I wanted it, I needed it,
.........but have I used it..........er well no not until now!
 
 
 Her challenge theme is 'Anything goes' and  also a 'friendship'
 theme. I hope my 'Just for you' is ok, I will be sending it to a 
friend anyway :)
