Moving Along With The Times Challenge Blog | Use Your Favourite

Hi All, 

It is a new month and that means there is a new challenge over on the Moving Along With The Times Blog and today's card is using products from Paper Rose.

The theme is "Use Your Favourite" which I actually found it hard to pick my favourite. However, I do really love the Beautiful Mandala from Paper Rose, now retired unfortunately.

My all time Favourite would have to be the "Wizard" from Stampinbella. I have coloured him once and honestly I loved how he came out I never coloured him again! I suppose silly really. You know I can never bring myself to give the card away! 

 


Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 
Feature Panel Size 9.7 x 14.1cm (3 9/16 x 5 5/16) 
 
I started with gold Embossing the Mandala stamp. I roughly applied watercolor over the stamp allowing it to dry in between applications and definitely after applying the shimmer paint. 
 

Picking out areas inside and around the outside, this allows the image to pop along with Gel Pen to bring the image out from the background.
 
Product List Below 
 
Paper Rose Beautiful Mandala (retired)
 
Watercolour paints - Gansai Tambi
Purple, Cobalt Violet and Cherry Blossom Pink 
Gem Violet (Shimmery)

Use it Up | Watercolor

Hi All, 

Today card is using products from Uniquely Creative and Kristina Werner 

 #1 

I think this one is my favourite.

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 
Feature Panel Size (9.7 x 14.1cm 3 9/16 x 5 5/16) 
Matt 10 x 14.4cm (3 7/8 x 5 9/16) 
 
#2

 
 
 Product List Below 
 
Uniquely Creative Watercolor Sheets- now they don't have this anymore but I found a beautiful watercolour colouring book.
 
Cheap Watercolours that I use while traveling 
 
 
#3
 
 
 
#4

 They are pretty strong colours but I wasn't thinking too much and just having fun. You, of course, could do a much lighter background. This is what I love about cardmaking, you could make the same cards but totally different technique even with watercolor or any other medium.
 
That is all from me today. Thank you for your time.
