A Case of Happy Water Colour!

It was an easy choice to add this stamp set to my collection – it’s so easy to use and there are so many techniques to explore with it.

I have seen some gorgeous things done with it. The card above I think is a CASE of a CASE……..you can see the idea in it’s original form on my friend Marelle Taylor’s blog HERE. After seeing and loving Marelle’s version I then I  had the opportunity to attend a fun class that a fellow demonstrator Karen Farquhar was running in her studio and we created some beautiful cards very similar to my final creations here. You could create these in any colour and they would work just as well 🙂

I decided to bling mine up a bit with some Gold Encore Ink, Brushed Gold cardstock and Gold Sequin Trim 😉
