Having a Crafty Weekend – Watercolour Stamping

I am having a crafty long weekend, as per this post and this post, and this post, and this post, It’s been a really good couple of days so far and I’ve been really enjoying crafting without an agenda.

One of the Altenew Academy classes I did last year was this one which celebrated their new watercolor pan set, so as part of my fun crafty weekend, I decided to go through that one again and play along with the lessons and just generally enjoy the experience and my crafty day.

This is turning out to be quite a watercolour weekend, and I’m really good with that as that’s what I love to do!  I used the Beautiful Day stamp set and painted on some watercolour from the Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set in this beautiful Purple Wine colour which is a favourite, and sprayed with a little water.

Then I stamped the leaves in the same way.  I really wished I had used a lighter green but since I constantly reach for the Parrot colour and use it all the time – practically in every project lol – it is running a bit low so I thought I would use one of the other greens.  This does look more like the colour of rose leaves but I do love the lime!

I’m doing two at the same time, because it’s just as easy to do two than one, plus I can experiment with another colour combination.

Then because I can’t help myself, I painted on some Parrot on the first one and made it a little messier lol.

And for now, here are the finished card fronts.  I may or may not add to the second one.  I have left them to dry and will decide what to do with them later, but for now, my crafty weekend continues…
