Water Colour - The Painted Rose

Hello everyone 😊

I have caught a bug!

A bug called water colour painting!

I recently visited a close friend who has some STUNNING roses growing in her garden.

I took some photo's for inspiration

Dianne's Roses

I have been working with water colours over the last week for another blog that will go LIVE on the 17th of Dec 2017.

I have always had a tendency to paint or draw, but many years ago I aquired a brain injury that dulled that side of my personality. 

I have found that side of my craftiness has resurfaced for short periods of time over the last few years while card making. . 

The last few weeks that "URGE or NEED" to paint has grown Soooo much stronger.

I finally gave into it yesterday and started a small project, but with serious intent.

I thought, why not paint a small image and mount it as a card.

And to tell the truth water colour is the easiest and most forgiving medium to restart my painting efforts.

I admit I still have a loooong way to go before I am at the level I felt I was many years ago, but I am over the moon to know that I still have a drop of talent left.

Below is a shot of the near finished work before final touches and mounting.

Now to hopefully keep painting and improving on my efforts.

In Progress

Below is the finished card.

I do hope you like it.

BLUE - Water Colour Wings using Water Colours

#KOCreationscards #Watercolourwings #Watercolourpainting #Cardmaking #Papercrafting #Stampinup #Butterflies #Blue

Welcome back everyone.

I took a little break before the Christmas rush period to spend some time with my family...We don't get a lot of time over the Christmas due to work commitments unfortunately. 

My holiday was inspirational though as visiting the Melbourne Zoo and the Butterfly House was my inspiration for my card project today.

I decided I would jump straight back into creating by playing with water colours! It's one of my most favourite ways to add colour to a background.

I hadn't pulled out the gorgeous Water Colour wings stamp set for a while either so, I put the two together and came up with this striking little number!

I am entering this card into the Crazy Crafters Weekly Team Highlights. 

I LIKE IT THAT MUCH lol
