PaperArtsy blog challenge Topic #5 'Blue and Ochre'

Hello everyone and welcome here.
Tonight over on the PA blog challenge Topic#5 'Blue and Ochre' which you can see fabulous samples and GD projects here.
Also I was very inspired by them works Lesley --Crafty Love N Hugs--and Hazel--Mellifluous Meanderings.

I used TH's Distress Oxide pads and Darcy's stamps for the challenge.

I chosen Broken China, Faded Jeans, Fossilized Amber and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide for the background. I stamped some script by Potting Soil Archival on the another watercolor paper. Then I used Darcy's flower stamps by same Potting Soil Archival on the paper. I fussy cut, placed and stuck them by 3D foam on the background. I made the laces and wire embellishment , finished with the letters of Dream. 

Thank you so much dropping by.

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Play with Infusions and Destress Oxide

Hello everyone and welcome here.
I just played with Infusions and Destress Oxide.

I sprinkle A Bit Jaded and Royal Blood infusions and brushed with Chalk Fresco paint and Acrylic Glazing on the Gray board. Once it dried I stamped Hot pics script by Gold Fresco paint. Then I stamped Tracy 's image with black Archival ink.
Next I used Tracy's ETS02 and Darcy's EDY18 stamps with several DistressOxide colours on the White Smoothy card. then I fussy cut and stuck them on the background.  And I stamped my favorite Darcy's quote.
I challenged this to PaperArtsy Topic #3 Infusions and paints for the second entry.

This is my first work, but I used too much infusions in the background and it turned dark and messy.
It is difficult to make it an appropriate amount.

Thank you so much for stopping by.
Hope you like that. See you soon.

My first watercolor

Hi everybody, welcome to here.
I have bought prima watercolor recently and I have tried something.
First I imitated and stained Tim's Flower garden stamp.
Since there is no basic knowledge of watercolor, I am studying Alison 's ( Words and Pictures ) blog and seeing the basic with YouTubu. I tried to make this for the first time but from now I will return to the basic again.

Thank you so much for stopping by see you soon!!
