Coffee pot water colouring

Hello Lovelies! I hope you are okay. I want to thank you for all your kind words on my last post - thanks so very much.

Today I have my cards from yesterdays coffee pot to share with you - they were all made by stamping the flowers in versamark and setting with white embossing powder. Then I created a wash with distress inks over the background and finally painted in the flowers with the same DIs.





They're all pretty I think! 

Just want to leave you with something else pretty - the sky over Lancaster last night!


Big hugs

  1. The white embossing gives a lovey soft base for the watercolour Rachel, it's one of those I forget to use very often.
