Pin-Sights, Colour Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketches

It's the long weekend here and I've had some time to spend in my craft area,

which has been really nice!

I've decided that one way I can make the most of my time would be to

make a few cards using the same stamp set, while I have it out.

So, I decided to use my Ellen Hutson Mondo Hydrangea stamp set

to make two cards.

The first one is for the February Pin-Sights Challenge:

And for Freshly Made Sketches #324:

Here's my card:

I stamped the image in Altenew Turquoise ink and then a second time, using

my MISTI in versamark, so I could heat emboss it in clear.

I coloured it in using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolours.

I adhered it over two strips of cardstock using dimensional adhesive and 

stamped my sentiment (from PTI's Songbirds) in Altenew Evening Grey.

And I made my second card using Colour Throwdown #480:

Here's my card:

With some masking, I stamped the leaves in Papertrey Ink New Leaf ink and 

then a second time, using my MISTI in versamark, so I could heat emboss it in clear.

I repeated these steps with the flowers, using Altenew Deep Iris.

I coloured everything in using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolours.

I stamped my Concord & 9th Barnboard Background on a strip of watercolour paper

in Altenew Evening Grey and stamped my sentiment (from PTI's KIS: Sympathy)

on a strip of grey cardstock and heat embossed it in white.

Thanks for looking!
