I have just noticed that its been three weeks since I have posted and weeks since I have looked at any blogs, I didn't realize that I would be so busy now I have retired, when did I ever find time to go to work LOL!!!
I have been looking on flickr for some inspiration and noticed a lot of cards with watercolour splashed so decided to have a go and its not as easy as it looks. In the end I used a die cut as a mask and used my distress stains for these two cards. I am pleased with the effect, especially the smudge on the second card. I also used the masking die on the card for some texture in the background. I am adding these cards to the Simon Says Anything Goes challenge.
I have been busy making more cushions, I have re discovered my sewing machine and have really enjoyed making these. The second cushion was a request from my daughter, she had seen all the amazing applique dog cushions on Pinterest and asked if I could make her one. It was quite fiddly but she is thrilled with it.
Have a great weekend.
