Night of Navy Archives – Page 3 of 3

I love watercolouring. I was painting before I ever started papercrafting and cardmaking. The flow of colours and the way they mix continue to fascinate me. Colouring in has also always been a very soothing and therapeutic way to spend a couple of hours.

Watercolouring using the Peaceful Place stamp set from Stampin' Up! — Watercolouring using the Peaceful Place stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

This stamp set has been in my stash for over a year and I haven’t used it until now. I am glad I am using it now as I love it. The image is one whole stamp and that makes scene building a breeze. I’ve stamped the image in Stazon ink and then used both sets of watercolour pencils to “paint” the colour.

Measurements

Night of Navy A6 cardbase (A6 is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.)

I have not given measurements for the Shimmery White, Pacific Point or Balmy Blue as I cut these as I go depending on how I stamp, paint and cut the stamped image.

This scene is perfection to me. I could quite happily spend a few hours on the banks of that stream with a book and not a care in the world. The natural world is a love of mine and I enjoy spending time in it whenever I can.

Tulips are my favourite flower. I love this simple watercoloured thank you card using the Winds of Change stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

Tulips are gorgeous or at least I think so. I love to see the first Tulips in the shops in early Spring and bring home a bunch for the hall table. They are beautiful even when they are going on when I feel they look almost like orchids.

We also have tulips in the back garden every year. The breadth of shapes and shapes are amazing. When I loved in London we used to go every year to the Chelsea Flower Show and I have hundreds of pictures of tulips from the amazing nurseries in the Great Pavilion.

Tulips and Windmills. Thank you card using the Winds of Change stamp set from Stampin' Up! — Thank you card using the Winds of Change stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

When I first saw the Winds of Change stamp set in the catalogue I fell in love. It is my style of stamp set. I love to watercolour and actually got into paper crafting through watercolouring. I find it an easy medium to colour with and it is very forgiving of mistakes.

measurements

There are no measurements for this card except the card base which is a standard A6 card base in Balmy Blue. I stamped the image of the tulips and windmill and then cut out my piece of shimmery white cardstock depending on how I stamped and coloured the image.

I adore these little Design Elements that I have used to embellish the bottom of the card. They are metal and so versatile. They remind me of cogs in the windmill and would be great on a steampunk card.
