Watercolour and Chevron

Hello Everyone

These are two of my favorite things at the moment. Chevron pattern and watercolour! In this layout I have used a crafters workshop template to create the Chevron Pattern. I played around with mixing my watercolours and I just made sure my brush was not to wet to avoid too much bleeding under the template. I didn't want it to be perfect either.

 I then outlined the pattern using a charcoal pencil. I also flicked some watercolours on my page. Oh and I painted my mini peg with watercolour! I just love these colours and these new papers from Carte Bella -Hello Again range.

I used these large alpha from Amy Tangerine as my title and my title is also my journalling and sums up how I feel when I look at this photo of my sweet girl and I.

I am now keen to try more templates with my watercolours!

We have a busy but fun weekend with my daughters Ballet concert tomorrow!

MME - Miss Caroline : Dolled Up

Hello Again!

so soon you say! I have more layouts to share over the next few days. 

I really have been a bit selfish and not sharing much! hehe

Today

These pictures are of my gorgeous girl a year ago. We went for a walk through the bush near our home and along a boardwalk. The weather was perfect and her little smile was too!

Products Used : 

Papers -My Minds Eye : Miss Caroline - Dolled Up

Stickers - MME Day stickers

Dear Lizzy - date stamp

canvas corp - mini pegs

Tim Holtz - rosette flower die

washi tape, crate paper buttons, twine, white paint.

I LOVE these papers and I had fun drawing and cutting out the Chevron pattern and then putting it onto white card and machine stitching. To achieve the white splatters I have watered down some gesso and then dipped in my paint brush and lightly flicked my paint brush. If you are unsure what affect you will get just have a practice on some scrap paper it's fun! 

I thought I would leave you with some pics of some of my favorite things at the moment used on this layout.

I must go to bed now. I'm so excited we are off to see Mary Poppins tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by :-)
