I got home from Barcelona yesterday and have been reunited with my paper, stamps and ink. I’m not thrilled to be home; I miss my friends and learning to speak Spanish, wandering around the city and eating good food. And let’s not forget sitting around drinking wine. It felt that with just a few more weeks, I’d be a lot more fluent. But it’s nice to have my crafting supplies handy. And some new ones arrived whilst I was away including the sale-a-bration set, For Being You.

I’ve been looking forward to playing with the water colour paper some more so I decided to combine the two. I got the colour combo from the colour coach – it’s blushing bride, calypso coral and hello honey. I used the aquapainter to create the three stripes and blended them together a little where the colours changed. The Thanks is stamped in calypso coral. I then tried various combinations of cardstock to complete the card but nothing was quite right. Looking at my overly large stash of DSP I decided to actually use some. I used my new fast fuse to fix the water colour paper to the piece of Best Year Ever DSP and then mounted that on a base of calypso coral. I used the same DSP to line the envelope flap.

See you tomorrow,
