Watercolour Pencils Get well Card A few days ago I dragged out my old watercolour pencils and I enjoyed it so much I have coloured a few more images. A couple have made it into cards and I forget how soft a feel they give to the cards. The stamps are both from Penny Black and I love the cat . It is perfect for young and old and kids love it. An old Friend is on the mend after a bout of pneumonia so hopefully this will cheer him up.  Have had the next stamp from Penny Black for ages but never coloured it up. I love the simplicity of the daises  and the other images are all gorgeous. It seems Cas is my thing at the moment and loving the way the cards are turning out. Two cards in one day from start to finish is quick from me. I am on a roll and they just seemed to fall into place with no effort. Hope it stays this way for a while.

Sunday Cas Challenge 19th July  Teddy Bears The Sunday Cas Challenge over on the Outlawz blog this week is  all about teddy bears. I love teddy bears and the hardest part of this challenge was choosing a bear to colour. I finally choose this Tattered Teddy called Me to You from Docrafts. Went mad when they first came out bought lots of them and still love to colour them up for cards. For a change I decided to watercolour with my old Jasart Watercolour pencils on Distress watercolour paper. Only have the 24 pack but find thats enough for me. Never been the best at water colouring but love the soft look it gives. The sentiment is from Save the date by Kaiser and the heart from an old Hero arts set called Baby. Added some Glossy Accents to teddy's nose, tag, hearts and part of the sentiment to make them pop.

Snowman Have not had much time for blogging but managed to colour and make a card with one the images from Lady Anne's Christmas Challenge . The two free images are from Anji's Antics  and I decided to do the snowman first. He was coloured using Jasart water colour pencils and love the soft look it gave. The snowdrifts are just torn pieces of cardstock, coloured and mounted on a piece of white card then mounted on a white card base. The stamped sentiment is from Dark room Door set Yuletide Vol 1.

May your Day be Special Pulled out my Star water colour  pencils and I like the result. Not many colours to choose from but sometimes that is a good thing. The card is for the sketch challenge over at  Annabelle Stamps   The image is from All things grow Stamp Set and was printed on watercolour paper with Ranger Archival black ink. Stamped the small reeds three times, the large reed twice and one of the butterflies. The fern from the set was stamped with versamark and the sentiment is from the same set. The PP is from the Kaiser craft Blae & Ivy 61/2 pad. CS from Creative Memories.

Birthday Hugs This is my card for the Inspiration Challenge  on CDAC using the colours below. The image is from Cuddly Bubbly by Pachela Studios and I coloured it using Jasart water colour pencils. The DP's are from Kaiser (blue & ivy), My Minds Eye (follow your heart), Echo Park (dots & stripes candy shoppe), Bow Bunny ( alora collection) and K & C Company (daisy pad). . Love that they are different 6 X 6 pads and yet they all match. The strips were cut using MFT  Fishtail Flag die, small doily from Cheery Lyn, and  added some gauze under image. The sentiment is computer generated and bling Kaiser.
