Happy Weekend!<\/p>\n

It’s Shabneez<\/span><\/a> here with some inspiration for the April Watercolour Challenge, which I hope you’ll join in with!  I decided to use the liquid watercolours for backgrounds on my cards and these are just a selection that I came up with as it’s rather addicitive and lots of fun!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>First up I used Soulmate, Autumn Blaze and Lemon Tart.  I used water colour paper for all my creations and taped them down on my table before I wet the paper with my brush then added drops of colour, using a brush to move the colours around.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\nOnce the paint was dry I heat embossed the Beautiful Blooms Border stamp in black and you can see the beautiful sheen on the card.  I added a sentiment after matting on to a black background.<\/p>\n

Next up, I used a small part of the background I created with Lemon Tart, Evergreen and Poolside behind the die cut butterflies and to die cut the happy. <\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\nI dry embossed the background of the card with a stencil to give it a little more texture.<\/p>\n

For my final card I used the entire background created using Grape Jelly, Ripe Plums and Pool Side. <\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\nI added a die cut dandelion together with a heat embossed sentiment – simple but effective.<\/p>\n

I hope this post has inspired you to use your watercolours to create backgrounds – it really is very addictive!<\/p>\n
