Christmas THANK YOU!

We landed in Ottawa early yesterday morning and I could not wait to get back down to my craft room. We had an absolutely wonderful Christmas and New Year with our families but 3 weeks away from my crafting was a bit tough J If only there was some way to take it with me...

While I was away I was unable to take part in the weekly challenges so I was thrilled to see that the end date had been extended for the last 3 Friday Mashups, next up a lovely sketch and watercolour challenge. I will be the first to admit that I am not the best when it comes to water colouring but I am putting in the time and practise makes perfect (someday lol).

Our son was one lucky boy and was spoiled rotten for Christmas. Call me old fashioned but I sure love to send out handmade thank you cards to all of those wonderful people who take the time to share a Christmas present with my family and here is one I will be mailing out shortly!

My Challenge:
So here is the "Mashup" Challenge:

  1. Make a project using the "Sketch".
  2. Or Make a project using "Watercoloring".
  3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a project using the "Sketch & Watercoloring".

My Card:
Tiny Tips:
There are a few different ways to watercolour an image. I chose to go with the ink and aqua writer technique. I simply press my ink pad cover into the actual ink pad while still closed to transfer a small amount of ink to the cover, open the ink pad, pick up a small amount of ink with my aqua writer and off I go!

 
 
Thanks for stoppin’ by!

  4. Hayley, this is really cute, the whimsical tree in water colour really pops on your colour combo.
