If you've read the about me, you'll know that I've had a set since I was 10 years old...
Here's a photo of it... complete with the price tag...if only paints were that cheap now!
I occasionally use it, along with all the other paints I've bought over the years...
to name a few:-
- Zig water colour brush markers
- Prima watercolour confections
- Gansai Tambi
- Kuretake Starry and Pearl
- Daniel Smith Dot card
Although I didn't buy the dot card, it was free with purchase from Jackson's in the UK..if you haven't checked them out yet, I would recommend you do, postage is cheaper than you think and bonus is we don't pay the VAT on products!
Any way so the card I'm sharing with you today is all water coloured, with the Daniel Smith dot card, I wanted to test them out and this was the first project! I'm also entering this card in to four challenges today:-
(Please click on the links and go check these challenges out and why not enter them too...)
So this is my card...
The set is called Beautiful day by Altenew.
I've started by water colouring the flowers and yes those fine lines are all water coloured... next was the leaves, the background is just a a whole heap of pure hot mess... I must admit I do love the randomness of water colouring backgrounds like this..
And I just popped it up on foam tape that I got from Bunnings, its similar to the 3M brand but a lot cheaper!
A few splatters of paint and sequins, and a heat embossed sentiment, and that is all there was too it!
I would love to know if I've inspired you to give water colouring ago, and if so tag me in so I can see what you've created!
Thanks for stopping by!
