I have a watercoloured card to share with you today using the French Countryside stamp set. I love stamps with scenes such as this. This scene is so peaceful. I could easily imagine sitting outside in this cottage with a book. What a pleasant way to pass a few hours.
I’ve coloured this image in using both sets of watercolour pencils and the aqua painter. I love watercolouring. It is so relaxing. I dabbled in watercolour painting before I became a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and I still love it. It is a very forgiving medium to colour in with as you can cover mistakes so easily.
When you do any project it is more important to use the right tools. If you want to watercolour you need to use the correct paper. I’ve used the shimmery white card here. You need to use a paper that can stand up to water. If you smooth whisper white the paper will bobble and pill and you won’t get the results you were hoping for.
I love the countryside. It was one of the main reasons I moved out of London after living there for 37 years. I love the city too but I hated how long it took to get out of London into the countryside.

I used the notecards as my cardbase. They come prescored and you get 20 in a pack with matching envelopes. Really great for quick and easy cardmaking.
