Watercolour die cuts

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

My craft room has been in a right mess for the last year and I keep trying to tidy it up - but then get distracted by finding something I'd forgotten I had, lol.  This time it was some spellbinder flower dies that I'd never used, so I thought I'd have a little play.  

After cutting one out of watercolour card I painted it with distress ink dabbed onto my craft mat.

I used the swirly end of the thank you die as 'ribbon' to give the impression of tying the stems together.

Heartfelt thanks

Hello lovely peeps, and welcome to my new follower :o)

Just quickly popping in to show you a thank you card I made to the same sketch as my Glittery Noel card, which won a prize at Less Is More.

Teacher Appreciation

Hello lovely peeps, hope you are all well.

I had a dig around for some of my Gorjuss stamps so I could make a card for the Sugar Nellie challenge and found one of my faves. This is so me as a child, I always had my head in a book!

We didn't do thank you cards for teachers when I was at school (many moons ago) but if I could go back in time there's a few favourites I would definitely make a card for.

I thought Mr Williams (business studies) was the coolest teacher ever. He was always changing his facial hair and was a teensy bit of a socialist.  Mr Davies (physics) was very funny, made the subject interesting and was the image of a mad scientist. Mr Robertson was my tutor and art teacher and always encouraged me, even though I was very mediocre at art.
They, and many others, were a very positive influence in my formative years (although the only change I make to my facial hair is to remove it constantly :D )

I'm sure you'll join me in giving a big 'hurrah' for teachers everywhere.

So, for this card I have used:-
'New Heights' Gorjuss stamp
Hobby Art Alphabet TYPED set.
Gorjuss patterned paper Cuttlebug folder
Brown. black and burgundy cardstock
Buttons from stash
Black Memento inkpad
 Graph'It markers and a couple of promarkers
