Bright and Bold

Hello there...

I was so fortunate to have This card picked as a joint winner at 
AAA Cards last week  - And also highlighted at Mod Squad
Thanks so much ladies!

This week at AAA cards it's all about Watercolour 


...Whilst the monday challenge over at Simon Says Stamps is to use Bright colours, Bold stamping or a Big Stamp
This is my first time playing here and I am becoming a huge fan of this company, so I decided to get very messy and enter both challenges with this card


There's lots of paint on this card in various colours ...  I smooched, splattered and painted ... Drying my paper in between. The big stamp I used was first stamped using Brushed Pewter distress paint and then I went over it ... offsetting slightly in black ink...


 I added more gold paint to the image using a brush and finished with dimensionz ... The postage stamp is a Rubon ... I just thought it fitted well here

I hope you are having a good week ... Thanks so much for looking in ...

Till soon

~ Ros ~
