Water colouring

Last week (ish) I was watching the launch of the new Spectrum Noir aqua pens which reminded me why I had bought the Promarker versions a couple of years ago. Having seen a similar demo at the time I had wanted to try it , but as the way it sometimes goes, I'd never actually got round to it.

Anyway this week I decided to put any other projects to one side and finally get round to playing with the pens. I did two versions of this (but sadly dripped paint on one of them) and I was so pleased with one of them that I made it into a piece of wall art.

I hope you like it. I used the new heartfelt creations dies for the flowers and butterflies, Tonic Royal Fern die and a section of a Crafts two ( I think) die.

I'm so impressed and will be using these pens again in my colouring as I absolutely love them. They blend really well and colour mixing is really easy when scribbled on a glass mat.

Gotta go check my jam tarts now so more later.

Taking a break

For the last couple months I have been taking a break from card making and have returned to Scrapbooking. Although I prefer making cards I have built up a substantial stock of them which will take quite a while to use up.
So, without further ado here are a few pages for you to look at and maybe provide you some inspiration.

 

 

Above is my poochie who was 8 weeks old at the time this photo was taken. Because this is a 6" x 6" scrapbook space is limited therefore I have kept the layouts simple.



 



 

Here she is a little older. In this one I have used the new heartfelt creations dies and flowers which reflect the pattern and colours in the duvet cover she is lying on.

 

Here we have my late puddy cat, Ebony. She was about 6 months old in the windowsill picture and a few years older in the one with my late dog Meg. she is looking sorry for herself because she'd slipped into a bath of scalding hot water and wasn't allowed to lick the cream off her paws. Thankfully the water wasn't too deep.

 

 

In this photo she was she is still very much a kitten. This as taken in my first house whilst I was looking after my dad's dog Suzi. Suzi was in a road accident at some point and had lost her left eye and possibly received some brain damage. She was a natural mum and although I don't recall her ever having pups she used to let Ebony suckle her.

 

OK. Having to keep this short today but will post more when I get the chance.
