This week’s challenge from Just Add Ink is a fantastic one, and it is to find a card on Kathy Tanner’s blog that inspires you and create something based on it. So, I have made my card based on the layout that Kathy used for her card, and also the watercolouring. And if you can’t find inspiration on Kathy’s blog, then there is just no hope for you!
I haven’t done any watercolouring for a long time, so it was time to get the Aqua brush out!
The stamp set I have used here is Simply Soft, a hostess set, and the papers are from the current mini catalogue, called Spice Cake.
Well, that’s it for today. I do have plenty more stamping to share with you, but another day! We are all suffering from lack of sleep here due to the heat (no air conditioning!) so time to head off to bed to try to catch up. Also time to move to a new house with air conditioning! Stay tuned……
Happy stamping!
Chris
You are so sweet Chris! Thanks for the lovely compliments
Your card is gorgeous! I love your watercolouring and the stitching you have done on the card. The paper and crochet trim are beautiful too.
I’m so glad you found some inspiration on my blog

Your watercolouring is lovely and I love the added stitching. Agree you would struggle not to find inspiration on Kathy’s blog she does such beautiful work. Thanks for playing at Just Add Ink this week.

Love your card Chris! I particularly like how you have textured the background paper with the square lattice embossing folder. It looks really good with the Spice Cake DSP.
