Brewed for you

Hello! I decided to make a Father's Day card for my dad early this year. I am really glad that I won't be making it the day before this year. Now I just need to figure out a present to give him.


Dad's favourite colour is green, which is why it appears on the card. He also occasionally brews his own beer, which is why the beer is on it.

Dies: Brewed Dies, Layering Circles

Embellishments: Snowfall Accents Puff Paint

World Watercolour Month

 Hello!


Did you know that July is World Watercolour Month? With that in mind, here are some cards using watercolour techniques!



The roses on each card are coloured with watercolour pencils and then a blender pen over the top. 

The background for the birthday card was created using Stampin' Up ink pads. I pressed the ink onto an acrylic block and then picked up with a water painter and brushed onto the card.

There was a lot of ink left over on the block (I may have been a bit heavy handed in the pressing) so I spritzed it with water and then pressed that onto a card to create the background for the thank you card.


Card: Fluid 100, Highland Heather, Melon Mambo, Shimmery White

Colouring Medium: Watercolour Pencils 1 & 2

Die: Blossoming Happiness

Ink: Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, Stazon Jet Black

Stamp: Happiness Abounds

Tools: Blender Pens, Water Painters, Stampin' Spritzers


Until next week,

Allison
