I'm Home!

So good to be back in my comfort of my own bed last night. My holidays in Brissy was AWESOME, thanks to my lovely sisters! Unfortunately I brought back an unwanted souvenir, which was the flu bug. That made me a little lethargic, though I really should be quite well recharged after this trip. I'll write more about my trip when I'm feeling better. Am missing blogging so I thought I'd post a quickie here. :)

This stamp from Hero Arts has got to be my new favourite :) Inspired by Kathy, I embossed the flower on a piece of vellum with white embossing powder, and then filled it in water colour. It's my first time painting on vellum. I loved the effect so much that I made 2 cards!It was also because I still had some paint left and I didn't want to waste :)


Supplies: Hero Arts Happy definition stamp, Hero Arts Large Flower stamp, Hero Arts Envelope stamp, HA sentiments stamps, Cuttlebug butterfly die cut, Pentel watercolour paint, White embossing powder, Button, Twine, Cricut label cut, Vellum, White and grey cardstock, Distress ink in Peeled paint & Broken China, Versamark inkpad

I'm submitting the cards to the following challenge:

Thanks for dropping by. I'll be coming by your blogs soon!
