Pretty Pink Posh Watercolour Blog Hop


Paulina over at Pretty Pink Posh is hosting a Watercolour Blog Hop all weekend with some fab inspiration and prizes!

Watercolour Birthday

For my card I black heat embossed the Penny Black Demure flower image onto watercolour paper and used Distress Inks in Seedless Preserves and Picked Raspberry to paint them.  After the flowers were dry I added a layer of sparkle from my Wink of Stella Pen in clear.

Watercolour Happy Birthday

I used Distress Inks in Mermaid Lagoon and Salty Ocean to watercolour the background and added a sentiment from the More Fresh Cuts Stamp Set from WPlus9.  The sentiment was black heat embossed onto vellum and I finished off with a sprinkling of Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Thank you for visiting my blog today and thanks to Paulina for organizing the hop!
