Botanical Rose


A most glorious day today, sun shining, birds singing and Positivity flows.

Please take our badge ;)
I love this challenge mainly for the inspiration and techniques
from all the ladies.  Making time in my DT schedules to
make cards just for "ME'  and experimenting.

With my 'experiment' this morning I used YUPO
Tombo pens, water spritzer and a sentiment stamp.
Floral stamp is Botanical Rose by Heartfelt Creations.

I found this TUTORIAL on ytube and did not realize I could use
water colours on YUPO, so we learn something every day.

Challenge:
The flower challenge....one layer card

Your own time is the most important! I'm so glad you have had fun with your experiments (also why it seems you are well!)! The result is amazing! Fab water colouring on Yupo paper and lovely Heartfelt flowers! I have them too, so neglected :( I need the retirement for having time enough to craft! LOL
