JAI#300 Bermuda watercolour rose

Just a super quick post to catch the deadline for Just Add Ink.
Its's their 300th Challenge and I have been trying to get to play along for weeks now.


I have been making predominantly square cards so this one was square too. Love the watercolour effects you can get with the shimmery white paper., And I think Bermuda Bay is one of my favourite colours. The rose cutout is adhered over the top of  piece of watercolour paper which I had been experimenting with. It was on the scrap heap initially but looked much better with the thinlit over the top. Infant the rose is two layers glued together.

Thnaks for looking, and a big thanks to the team at JAI for all their inspiration and enthusiasm,

Liz

    So gorgeous Liz! I love the vibrancy and variation in your water colouring and the Gold glimmer and burlap ribbon offer beautiful texture without taking away from your image. Stunning! Thanks for joining us for our 300th Challenge at Just Add Ink this week :-)

    Liz your card is fabulous. I too love Bermuda Bay and your water coloured piece from the scrap heap was a great save. Loving how you pulled it all together with those gorgeous embellies. So glad you were able to join us at Just Add Ink for our 300th challenge! x

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
