Hi everyone. Sharing watercoloured card today of a NBUS (never before used schtuff ... as Dolly would say) stamp. This is from Serendipity. Very simple card with the stamped image watercoloured with distress inks and fussy cut. Created a peek-a-boo window card with a sky background and popped the image over top. I added wink of stella to the snow for a bit of sparkle but it doesn't show in the photo.

Another gorgeous card, Loll! Your snow covered branches are so pretty and work perfectly with those beautiful Cardinals! I also love the font on your sentiment...a really lovely CAS Winter card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Loll, your fussy cutting and watercolouring of the image is amazing :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great depth of color you achieved with distress inks. The red is so vibrant and so is your green. I'm always amazed at what you are willing to fussy cut too. Fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Loll! Is the stitched window a die - it is lovely.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing,
Beautiful, Loll! Love that image (I think I might have it somewhere in my older wood mount stamps). Beautifully coloured and perfectly set in the corner of the stitched opening.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Winter sky for your beautifully water colored bird image and snow covered foliage, Loll. TFS my friend. Hugs..Nancy

The cardinals really stand out against that cut out window with the sky behind.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous evocation of winter Loll. We don't have cardinals here, bet they look stunning against the white snow.
ReplyDeleteWe had a spot of the white stuff on the way home from our son's last night but there was nothing by the time we got here. My friend says there is some due next week, not looking forward to that! :)
Oh my be still my beating heart ! What a beauty ! I see you are still creating little masterpieces and frame worthy cards. The cardinals are perfectly coloured and I love your snow !> Hope all is well with you and you have a fabulous year.
