Going round in circles

A bit of 'mixed media' for you today, using Aall & Create stamps.


I had great fun yesterday painting watercolour circles after being inspired by a video on Pinterest by kristina del bano 


Hubby said the blue one looked like pebbles so I put that one aside to do a nautical theme and decided to do a floral card with the green one.

After stamping the sentiment and mounting it onto an A6 card blank with foam tape I decided to add decoration to some of the circles...


... so I cut a quick mask from paper to cover the area around the circles ...


and then realised I should have decorated the circles before I mounted it on the card, but it was stuck down fast so I had to make the best of it.

Because of the uneven surface none of the patterns stamped out properly so I ended up drawing in the missing bits with a black fineliner :D

Pink Frog A6 watercolour card

    A beautiful card and design. I love the background that you have created and I prefer the distressed uneven stamped circles it really adds to the design and your sketching with a fine liner looks really cool too Katrina.
