A Watercolour Friendship Card

Well this is definately my last posting until after my grandsons have gone, Ive already started clearing out my craft stuff so my poor room and desk look so bare, but I did manage to get this last card done yesterday, its a bit different to what I usually post but I sincerely hope that you like it.

The stamps I have used are by Dark Room, they are an Australian company, and they come in tins, though you do have to cut them out and mount them, I loved this set when I saw a card in one of my magazines, Im very keen on using Marvy Le Plume pens on stamps to create pictures, and this is what Ive done this time.

The set contains several wild flower sprays, and Ive coloured them with my pens and sprayed them with a fine mist before stamping them onto watercolour paper, its a very misty effect but I absolutely love it. The greeting was also in the same set, and Ive unfortunately stamped it a bit of centre so I hope you will forgive me, I dont think it effects the result to much. To finish of Ive used my cats eyes and a foam sponge to distress the edge, then mounted it onto a piece of blue pearlescent card.

The base card is again my favourite 8"x 8" inch card, and Ive layered up a piece of blue pearlescent card with one of the papers from the Nitwit downloads, and Ive punched out the corners with a really lovely punch by Kreaxions, these punches are quite difficult to get hold of, but I know the Glitter Girls have a few on their website if you are interested in them. To finish of Ive used six beaded brad spacers and pearl and glass brads.

So although I may with my laptop, get time to visit your posts while the boys are here, I wont be actually posting myself until probably the 3rd of August, so take care with love and hugs to you all Shirleyxxxxx
