Old favourites

When I say old favourites I am talking in crafting years not harking back to my grandmother’s time. The PB stamp featured on today’s card is definitely a favourite, it’s called ‘berry kissed‘ and it’s been around a few years.
Another old favourite on this card is my often used technique of splattering masking fluid on my hot pressed watercolour paper before stamping or painting. After all the ink is added and dried I remove the masking fluid to reveal little white dots here and there which look like snow.
The final old favourite worth mentioning on this card is the ‘magic’ ink, memento northern pine. It is a dark green dye ink and when it is wet it bleeds into greens, blues and browns. I stamped the leaves with this ink then blended over them with a paintbrush and you can see all the different tones, especially in the close up photo. And yes, the placement of the sentiment does cover a few blotchy berries!

This is a very pretty winter/Christmas stamp and beautifully watercoloured Heather, and that ink is absolutely perfect for the leaves, and those berries look as though you could pluck them off the card. x
Charming old favourite Heather, beautifully done.
Gorgeous watercolouring of this favourite stamp. The ink you’ve used on the leaves is so pretty with the different colours. Adds a lovely textured look, especially with the white from the masking fluid. Beautiful card Heather! xx
So lovely!
Love this then…and now!
