Hello Everyone, I sat down late one night to do one of my favourite relaxing activities - watercoloring. I used this  beautiful stamp by stamping Bella  I created 2 color schemes. The one on the left is a spring themed one with a dusky sky and green grass (but why is there Nuvo snow - hmm have to rethink that one!) and the one on the right is a winter scene with snow falling and on the ground. This one is a completely whimsical theme  - orange sky, purple grass and red trees! Right out of Willy Wonka's mind methinks! This last one is one I tried to mimic the picture on the actual stamp. I LOVE the darkness of the sky. I think adding dark values is really important in water color especially because it dries light. I converted this to an easel card which I will send to one of my close friends. I have a quick video which you can watch HERE Thank you so much for joining me. Merry Christmas to you and yo...

Welcome back to Day #4 of the #HalloweenPlayChallenge. Today I am playing with this magnificent Feather & Ravens die!!! We have crows here in Australia which made me wonder what the difference between a raven and crow is. I did go off and have a look. If you are interested, see  HERE Back to my card :) I assembled my die-cut elements on a water color card front and it sparked such a wonderful scene in my mind that I knew straight away the scene I wanted to create. I used my Distress Oxides to create a beautiful night sky of greys and blues (Faded Jeans and Iced Sprice). Once again the crescent moon and the bats feature here. I love the start black of the die-cut raven against the blue-grey of the sky. Love the splashes of grey on the background making it look like more bats in the distance. And I love the romantic sentiment here "Seek the silence of the night bu moonlight"-  Just perfect for this scene. I enjoyed...
