Hello! ‘Watercolour’ is the challenge for the month of June, and, here are my inspiration cards for the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I decided to use the Craftangles heart stencil mask set<\/a> to create some watercolour scenes for my cards today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first card, I used the stencil on a sheet of Craftangles rough watercolor paper <\/a>and created an ocean and beach. I saw something similar on instagram recently, and drew inspiration from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used a wash of a combination of Ocean Breeze<\/a> and Poolside<\/a> watercolor from Craftangles to create the ocean and a combination of Lemon Tart<\/a> and Oh fudge<\/a> for the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I then carefully removed the stencil and let the painting dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Craftangles ‘Just a Note’ stamp set<\/a> . I then die cut the panel and matted it with matching Cobalt blue cardstock from Craftangles <\/a>, and adhered it to a square card base to finish the card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the second card, I used the same stencil, to create a field of flowers. The inspiration for this card, came from this Youtube video<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As I remeoved the stencil, I wasn’t very happy with the edges of the heart, so I decided to diecut it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once die cut, I had white edges….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

..So I decided to paint the heart right to the edges. Once done, I pierced a hole and tied it to the base panel with some jute thread. I really love how it turned out..a soft field of flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sentiment is from the Craftangles “Girl in the rain” stamp set<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the third card, I placed the stencil on Craftangles rough watercolor paper<\/a> and painted soft free hand roses . This is my first attempt at trying these free hand roses, and I’m thrilled that they turned out so well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used Pretty Peony<\/a> and Evergreen<\/a> liquid watercolours from Craftangles and a created a splatter with Lemon Tart<\/a> liquid watercolor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I then die cut the panel and matted it with Craftangles ‘Ruby Red’ cardstock<\/a> and adhered it to a square card base. The sentiment is from the Craftangles ‘Everyday Sentiments’ stamp set.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
