I’ve not made lots of cards recently.

But the majority of cards I’ve made, I’ve used watercolours.

It all started last year when I started playing with the watercolours I’d purchased a year previously. I realised I could use them to make some pretty unique watercolour greetings cards.

At Christmas, I purchased some beautiful shimmery watercolours from Etsy.* I used these to create some similar cards for Christmas.

I also treated myself to some new watercolour brushes from Betty Hayways. Using this after using cheap watercolour brushes previously was a revelation. It made painting so much nicer and easier! I finished off the card with a new stamp, from Skull and Cross Buns.* I used some silver embossing powder to really make this card pop.

During lockdown, I obviously had a lot of spare time, so I got the watercolours out again.

My favourites are the balloons. I painted diagonal stripes on a large piece of watercolour card and then cut out the shapes using my Silhouette. The mix of colours created some nice effects on the balloons.

This final one I created with the same shimmery watercolours from Christmas and another stamp from Skull and Cross Buns.*

I’m really enjoying incorporating watercolours into my cards.
