Love & hugs (HLS – Watercolour Challenge)

Hello again

Welcome to a new challenge at HLS Watercolour Challenge for october 2023. As always it’s Anything Goes with the option this month of Tropical. Just be sure it features watercolour. So easy to join in!

My card features HA – Swirl Stencil, then second generation stamping of HA – Friendship background stamp. The edges were inked in Sotress inl.

HA – Sunburst Bold Print was heat embossed onto vellum and trimmed.

HA – Floral Rose stem was heat embossed and watercoloured using Distress ink before being fussy cut and added to a circle die cut featuring matching stencilling, a sentiment from the set as well as some gold thread.

(This little stamp set is a firm favourite since I purchased it about 3 or 4 years ago. I’ve used it on so many cards and tags.)

The circle lies up with the circle vellum.

Please head over to our blog and check out the wonderfully inspirational work by the rest of the Design Team!  I hope you will find the time to join our challenge this month.

I look forward to seeing what you create!  Good luck!

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit.  I love to read your comments.

Stay safe

Cheers

Helen

I live in sunny Queensland, Australia with my husband and daughter. Since I was a child, I have always loved to create and have enjoyed all kinds of crafts, sewing and painting. China painting helped develop my understanding of colour and design. Over the last few years card making has taken up a major part of my crafting time as I love to play with new techniques and mediums. Since beginning my blog, entering various challenges has encouraged me to grow my skills and creativity.
