# FRIENDS...!!


Hi everyone...

I was inspired recently by a card made by
 Diane from DeeDee's card art  
to get my watercolours out...

So I grabbed my paints and...
this is what my end result looks like!!


I used the Peerless watercolours for 
the background and Distress inks to colour in Tilda..

If you haven't tried Peerless watercolours I really recommend them, 
they have gorgeous colours and they work awesome!!

The sentiment and # is from Lawn fawn!!

Till next time...

Have a sweet day...!!

Hi everyone...
Yesterday I had my Copics out and coloured in this gorgeous Tilda from 
the Pink lemonade collection!!

I wanted to do a card with a mint and peach theme... 
So I grabbed some supplies from my shop, 
Prima flowers, peach ribbons, some papers and a pretty mint Trim..!!

This is what I came up with....


The card base and pieces were cut out using my Silhouette machine...
and the Heart doily border is a die from La la land crafts!!

This Sweet sentiment id by C.C designs.. "Have a sweet day"..




I added some clear Wink of Stella for some sparkles, Glossy accents to her shades and some opaque white paint for detail!!

All my edges were inked using an ink edger by Prima in the colour of Attic dust..


Thankyou for visiting me...
