Monday Moments

I've recently been playing with water colours - bit of a hint of something coming up at AAA Cards soon - and signed up for an online class at www.onlinecardclasses.com 

Now I've done a few online classes, some excellent, some good and some not so good. This one falls into the excellent category - which I suppose I should have guessed as Jennifer McGuire is involved and she's a real class act. And the price is brilliant too - $25.

I didn't make the live run of this class, but I think I actually prefer to work at my own pace and absorb things slowly - I find I hate to get behind in live classes and rush through the experimenting stage trying to keep up.

All this preamble leads me into sharing a card I made for Less is More's current challenge to use watercolours. And it's a card that turned out so much more than I hoped and I'm totally in love with it!  Don't you just love it when things turn out better than you expected?

 

Our challenge is to use

WATERCOLOUR 

First I prepared the background by applying ink to an acrylic block, spritzing it with water and stamping onto watercolour card.  Once it had dried out I stamped the butterfly and then did a second generation stamping set slightly off the first to get a bit of a blurred image.  I then just finished it off by stamping the sentiment. Hope you like it as much as I do!

Supplies:

Stamps: Uniko Studio, English Country Garden Butterflies, All Occasion Sentiments #1

Inks: SU, daffodil delight, rich razzleberry, tempting turquoise; Memento, tuxedo black

Thanks for dropping by today, I do appreciate you taking the time.

Jane
