GWENDOLYN GOH

Desperate Housewife Craft

STAMPlorations products Gwendolyn used:

Blossom Sprays #3, Thanks word die, Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies, Sentiment Builders: Thank You (retired)

I coloured the same stamp three different ways & the first way was just to add a shiny watercolour background using metallic watercolours

*****

For the 2nd card I went with a monochromatic look using my Koi markers. The Thanks word diecut was watercoloured & coloured with clear Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to make it shine!

*****

I watercoloured my last card using only two colours. I added the same Thanks diecut which was watercoloured in red this time. I cut this panel  and matted it on a yellow card base.
