Watercolour Stampendous

Hello everyone... 
Another week just flew by and it's a wet weekend here in the UK

I won a $20 Stampendous voucher  over at AAA Cards recently ... It was kind of a mistake, I mean my card entry did win but the voucher was apparently meant to be for US residents only. I've noticed this before at challenges and I can fully understand when goods have to be shipped but when it comes to vouchers the shipping cost is on the winner. 
However, the lovely Laura at Stampendous honoured my win and I was able to choose my gifts which were sent to me from the UK store and the service was amazing! I have bought from them before and I do love their stamps...

So here's a  card that I made with one of my new stamps


This is called Blossom Bunch and it was perfect for watercolouring...


I stamped and embossed the image on to Rangers watercolour paper first and used my Gansai Tambi paints

 
This is going to one of my blog buddies ... I am still receiving beautiful cards and gifts following my birthday last month and I am overwhelmed with the kindness I've been shown...

Many thanks to Laura at Stampendous and to AAA Cards too

Have a lovely day

How nice to hear they honored the prize. You did awesome with the image and I LOVE that block thank you. Is that from the same set?

I REALLY need to work with my GT watercolors. I just took a small online watercolor class with some great tips. Just have to find the time to play. Your blooms are a breath of fresh air Ros. Definitely put me in the mood for spring. Hugs!

Congratulations on your win Ros. What a fabulous card your watercolouring is sublime and i love the stamp it looks hand drawn and lends itself beautifully to thew watercolouring.

btw I have had my pixscan mat since it came out tried it once and never bothered again, I just scan straight from my printer into Silhouette no fuss no muss.
Have a lovely Sunday.
