Sat outside on Saturday - very warm and sunny. Sat inside on Sunday - in a jumper and socks! (had other clothes on too........😄😄 )
Still cool today but not raining thankfully so we managed a walk round the nearby Nature Reserve this morning.
I have a card for this month's CAS Watercolour challenge which is 'Night Sky'.I quite enjoy trying my hand making these backgrounds and usually manage OK blending Distress Inks but I tried this time just using my watercolours.
Note to Self - NEED MORE PRACTICE!
Overall my watercolour piece didn't turn out too bad and I managed to make 2 reasonably passable cards with it.
I love these little 'SuperHero Pugs' from Clearly Besotted and I thought he would look good against the galaxy sky.
Stamped, embossed and watercoloured before he was ready to sit patiently waiting to fly off somewhere to Save the World!
Thanks for looking today - stay safe, be kind and happy crafting. xx

This is a fantastic card Viv and you have added a wonderful sentiment.
ReplyDeleteIts feeling like winter again here, the central heating is on and so are the heavy jumpers.
Stay safe.

ReplyDeleteA beautiful stary night sky for the flying of your cute super hero Viv! I find that every time I make a night sky it comes out differently whether I use Distress inks, watercolors or Brushos! I think it's the nature of the beast! xx
