Being CreateAble with Heather

 Hi there Creators, Today I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to clean up my desk, it's one of those jobs that you get started on then find things you haven't finished off....  So instead of cleaning I ended up finishing off a couple of things, hence the UFOs Unfinished Objects, as it turns out I end up using the In Bloom Bundle for both of them. The first one was this card, which I'd previously stamped but hadn't got any further, so I added the ribbon and the gorgeous Artistry Blooms sequins and finished it off: The other project is a 3D one, for which I had the "bones" made up, specifically the outside box bit, but I had plans for the inside which hadn't happened, so finally I chose the colours and what I was going to decorate it with, and here's the finished article......

 Hi there Creators, The other day I joined in a blog hop with others showing watercolour techniques  I was relieved to hear most of them saying watercolouring was a challenge for them too!  Anyway this morning I thought I'd take it to my Facebook live and give you a video for prosperity 😀 Here is the card I ended up making from the components I made in the video....  I've used In Bloom stamps , Pierced Blooms dies , they also happen to come as a bundle (yay for 10% off)  the bundle is called: In Bloom bundle , I've also used watercolour paper for the flowers and leaves, shimmery white card for the background  And if you want to learn how to do it , check out my video here:   Let me know how you go with these 2 techniques. I hope this inspires you to create! God Bless love Heather xox

So I had an idea that I wanted to watercolour a few flowers from my new Pierced Blooms dies and make a kind of bouquet out of it, my initial attempts at properly watercolouring them failed dismally lol however after dropping one into the remains of colour that was on my silicone sheet I had an idea...... Here is the card I made, and I have some close ups and explanations to follow.   So my technique....  I used water color paper and cut out the die pieces, then painted each piece with water, inked up a blank stampin' block then dabbed the block onto the pieces till I liked the colour of them, with the flowers I repeated this method with a couple of colours.  I've used the Subtles colours. I really love the ...
