Something Saturday - Natures Paintings Kit

 Hi there Creators,

I was excited to receive this Natures Paintings kit, it's kind of like getting a colouring in book, but using watercolour instead😍

So for the video I picked out one of the designs to colour in and showed off 4 ways to use the watercolour pencils, and water painter that come with the kit. 

The 4 ways are:

• using the pencils direct to paper, then using the water painter to move the colour around
• using the water painter to "lick" the colour off the tip of the pencil and colour with it
• colouring a block onto a scrap bit of paper, and using that as a dry paint block, ie add water and use that to colour with
• then lastly and my preferred way, is to add a drop of water to a clear block, then scribble the pencil into the drop until it colours it, then paint with this.

I can't show you specifically where I used which technique as they kind of end up looking the same, however as I mentioned in the video I did think I could split the piece into 3 for 3 cards, and voila........

the first one uses the Sweetly Scripted Stamp set in the background, and some of the Adhesive backed dragonflies & birds.

these next 2 use this lovely saying from Layers of Beauty Stamp set.

I'm really happy with the way it cut up so easily to create the 3 cards, the last card uses pieces from both sides of the design, whereas the other 2 use the top section and the bottom section individually.

If you missed the video, here it is:

I hope this inspires you to have a go too, don't forget to use the links above to check out the products😉

Class cards for May

Hi there Creators,

I have worked out our class cards for May now woo hoo!  

Class dates are:  Tuesday 7th at 1.30pm in Laanecoorie, Thursday 9th at 7pm in Laanecoorie, and Saturday 11th at 10.30am in Maryborough.  Class cost is $24 for 4 cards with envelopes.  It's important to book your place if you're coming to Laanecoorie as space is limited.

Here are the cards we'll be creating:

Using the beautiful Unbounded Love Bundle and Layers of Beauty (I've only used the stamp set here, but Oh My Goodness the bundle is so worth it!), also showcasing some of the new colours: Shy Shamrock and Peach Pie (guess which is which 🤣)

Then back in time a little as this was in the mini catalogue (if you want it, buy it now before the end of the month while it's still a bundle price with 10% off it!)  Ice Cream Swirl Bundle (stamps & dies)  again showcasing one of the "new" colours, although Pretty in Pink is actually an old colour with a come-back!

Moving onto the big Leaf Collection Stamp, and combining it with Layering leaves stamps and the matching Bough punch (which I thought went really well with this new big stamp)

And last but not least the pretty Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper paired up with the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder - which incidentally is huge!  at 8" x 6", you can fit a whole A5 sheet into it!

and "that's it folks" as they say at the end of the Looney Tunes Cartoons.  Hoping you can make it to one of my classes, if not I hope this inspires you to create in your own space 😊

God Bless love
