Hello it's the first Friday in the month which means that is time for our new Theme and Sketch April challenge over at STAMPlorations. The theme this month is a real favourite for me
I LOVE watercolours and below is the sketch which you could also choose to use, instead or as well as the theme.
The rules in brief are that you need to use stamping on your projects. You don't have to use STAMPlorations stamps to enter but of course we love it if you do! You can link up 6 times with new blog posts and you need to add our logo to your post. You can go with the theme, the sketch or both, the choice is yours. There are some fab prizes to be won too!
This is the link to the challenge with all the info you need.
As always I used the theme and sketch and this is what I got up to.
I used the fun before coffee bold sentiment
and the
Convalleria stencil
I made a watercolour background using distress inks and then added the stenciling as per the sketch using dark green Versafine Clair ink.
On a piece of spare watercoloured card I added some more ink and then stamped embossed the sentiment and die cut it out.
Here is my finished card.

Wow, so vivid and eye-catching - this is really cool. Hope you have a great time at Ally Pally. Was thinking I might swing by on Sunday, but less likely now that I've remembered I'm out all day Saturday too.
