Just Add Ink #317 - Colour Challenge

This card is for Just Add Ink Colour Challenge #317.

Rose Wonder Watercolour

Today's card is not for any challenge but I wanted to mess around with the emboss resist technique and my little-used Rose Wonder stamp set. Watercolouring is one of my favourite techniques because I love the result and it's a nice calming way to pass time.

I used Blackberry Bliss, Sweet Sugarplum and Wisteria Wonder to colour the rose and Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz to colour the leaves, also adding a touch of Wink of Stella to the rose. For my first try with this technique I'm pretty happy with the results.

Just Add Ink #316 - Stripes!

Another card for Just Add Ink today, for challenge #316 - Just Add Stripes!

I decided to use my long neglected Brushstrokes background stamp and coupled that with the ever-wonderful Botanical Blooms. I used sponge daubers to colour the background stamp and then lightly spritzed it with water to give it a less spotty look than it usually has.
