Watercolor Blog Hop

Hello ...
Pretty Pink Posh are hosting a Watercolor Blog Hop


I thought I'd make a little card but this time no smooshing or splattering ... I thought I'd try water colouring a stamped image



I stamped and embossed the beach huts (from Crafty Individuals) and used Gelatos to paint with


It's quite bold to my normal style but it's growing on me as is my confidence with water colouring

There are some lovely creations up on the Pretty Pink Posh Blog - For full details of the Hop head on over and take a look



I'd also like to enter my card at


Where the challenge is Stamps and Washi Tape

Wishing you a wonderful day

~ Ros ~

Oh I think its lovely...just popped out at me from the thumbnail. The image looks like it was made to be coloured this way. Love it.

It's beautiful, Ros! It is fairly soft compared to some of the really vibrant watercolors that are being done with the watercolor brushes now, but I love the intensity you achieved with these favorite colors of mine!! I want to be on that beach!! Hugs, Darnell
