Well hello there – today I am a Guest Designer over at AAA Birthday Challenge #2 – Use Water Colours.
I decided to use a variety of Distress Ink blues that I smooshed in layers on some masked off water colour paper. I love how drying each colour before applying the next makes it look like actual water! I then stamped the flamingo and sentiment from an old Reverse Confetti set called ‘Fabulous Flamingo’ – can you see that I clear embossed the wing and beak? I added a couple of The Ton sequins for a finishing touch.
Come join in our fun and make a card using water colours and link it up here. Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way.
Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals.
So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.
