After a couple of busy days in New York, I was happy to be home and to have time to play with my stamps. CASology want a CUTE card this week and ATCAS want watercolour. This seemed a perfect opportunity to pull out Love You Lots and play with one of the so far uninked images.

I really do love playing in challenges where the sketch or colours are set, but sometimes it’s really nice to use a cue card and be able to add green if you feel like it, or to change the design as the card wants. It seems to depend on how your creativity is feeling. Sometimes it needs more of a kick than at other times!

So I stamped this super cute image on shimmery white card stock using the archival basic black ink. To ensure that it was really dry before I started watercolouring, I stamped the sentiment next – obviously also from Love You Lots – in rose red. Then I squished my ink pads to put ink on the lids and started colouring away. I must say that after two days at a conference, it was fabulous to sit at my table and just watercolour. SO relaxing. I used soft suede for the hedgehogs and then more rose red for the flower. To give them something to stand on, I added a swoosh of pear pizzazz. Easy, fun, relaxing and definitely cute! I then put the shimmery white onto a base of rose red.
