New cards

I spent some time crafting this afternoon. I have quite a few bits and bobs I need to get on with. First of all I wanted to make my DCM card for tomorrow. That all went a bit pear shaped and I'm not particularly happy with the end result - you can see for yourselves tomorrow. After that one was made I had a sudden yearning to play with watercolours! So I did!!!

I stamped two images that I thought I would enjoy painting. The first one is a Sugar Nellie and the other is my favourite Tilda. I painted them both and enjoyed it immensely and I felt so inspired I went on to make 2 cards with them that I actually like! Who knew? lol

Soooo having spent a fair bit of time indulging in a love affair with prismacolor pencils, I am now in love with watercolour paints. Probably because all the blending of the prismas kills my hand whereas watercolouring is a breeze :o)
