I made this background using water colour paper at the craft camp.  Lol not that I really did much for the couple of days except muck around with different ways to use my stash of goodies.

I coloured a flower stamp using watercolour crayons and then spritz the stamp before stamping the paper.

I used the  paper to soak up the excess water that was on my craft mat.  That's where the blurred images come into effect.  I used Brilliance inks to colour the half circle doily.  I love how this card turned out.

Oh Baby

Hiya one n' all,

The rain has finally fallen after many days of dry weather.  I had a most excellent weekend away with a group of ladies crafting at a retreat where all our delicious meals were prepared for us.  There was enough for seconds if you so desired.  :D  Thank goodness I only go to camp once a year, cause my scales always say one at a time please when I come home and this is only for the weekend too.  Did I create a lot cards,   :D sadly no, but I did have a VERY good time chatting, and helping the ladies with how to use varies tools and what you could do with them.  So consultation fees will be in the mail.  So the boot full of the crafting stuff was mainly used by everyone but me. 

So back to the card at large.  I got to to use all the other stuff the ladies brought with me so wasn't too bad exchange in the end.  I embossed a whole heap of pearl cardstock with clouds, die cut flip cards, die cut butterflies and hearts.

I'll be entering this card into the challenges
