Joy to the World

Today, I had a little play with my Winsor & Newton water colours, after unwrapping the half pans that I bought last summer...


Ingredients:
- A wash of W&N Payne's grey onto W&N water colour cardstock
- A few splatters of the same water colour
- Die cut/inlaid Memory Box snowflake (Twinkling Snowflake Duet, a recent win) from silver glitter paper from my stash
- Sentiment, star and tiny dot stamps from the Snowy Sayings set by CAS-ual Fridays (part of the SOA Christmas collection) stamped in Archival black
- Stitched rectangle die (Bundle of Stitched Shapes by Simon Says Stamp)
- Black cardstock (Crafter's Companion)

Challenges:
Merry Monday - 196 Black, white and grey/silver
Freshly Made Sketches - Sketch 228 (flipped)
CAS Mix Up - Stamping, watercolouring and third element (die cutting, splatter)
Addicted to CAS - 84 Delicate

    It's amazing how effective something as simple as watercoloures on a background can look Marianne, it makes for a really elegant creation.

    Beautiful! I've been seeing so much wonderful inspiration here and elsewhere over the past weeks but can't find time to sit down and actually make something! It feels the creative part of my brain is about to explode! Hope all is well at your end.
