WOYWW Water ("colouring in") and wedding card

I've taken to watercolours, but really, all I'm doing is "Colouring In". Maybe the only artistic ability required here is to figure out where the shading goes. 

As you probably guessed, I have used that nice Altenew stamp, "Beautiful Day".

And if you came by here last week, I did make another card which turned out to be

 The (final) Wedding Card ...

ah, yes ... same stamp again! It's versatile, right?

What's on your desk? Check out Julia's desk at the Stamping Ground.

WOYWW a bit of watercolouring

Hi Wednesday desk persons. Just playing with some watercolours ...

Some more details on post below.

And Lunch Lady Jan will have the magic linky thing to connect all the desks.

Catch up soon, but probably not before Friday.

(Thursday is usually an internet free day. Seriously.)

Wanderlust - watercolour challenge

Over at Wanderlust, following on from some recent tutorials, the challenge for June is about using watercolours. But, here's the real challenge, you must use colours from your nation's flag.  My first attempt, using a basic watercolour paint set, was not promising ...

So I moved onto using another set ...

Now, we share the same three colours, red, white and blue, with a few other countries, so something was needed to make the country in question quite obvious. I think this works ...

I know it's very simple and probably not "artistic" enough (for Wanderlust), but I am pleased with it nevertheless.  It was also an opportunity to work with some liquid masking fluid which was good. (Scanning the photo has tried to turn the sky purple grey, but it really is blue, as per top photo.)

WOYWW more Anniversary goodies

I am waiting for one more ATC, but I am too impatient and I will "show and tell" today :)  
Here's today's workdesk (or kitchen table) ...

Not terribly exciting. Just some random watercolour splotchings I did on the weekend. The best bit there is that die which arrived in the mail yesterday, along with my second last ATC. The die was discontinued some years ago (as far as I can figure out). Why would they stop making that lovely die? Anyway, it finally turned up on ebay and I snapped it up :)  (I had almost given up on finding it. So, now, I had better use it, hadn't I?)

But this is what you really want to see ...

Apologies to anyone who came by here last Wednesday and was confused (I know I was). I tried (successfully, I thought), to link with Julia via my phone and it all seemed to work swimmingly! But, when I did check the link back from Julia's it went to a random post from last February. Huh?  I managed to enter the correct link a bit later. Interestingly enough, half my visitors went to the February post and only one person (apart from me) actually noticed!
