Just add Watercolour

Entering another challenge on the Just Add Ink site, this time, it is - just add water colour.

Using water colour paper I painted a rough background, blue sky at the top and green hills at the bottom. Then I stamped a tree skeleton and added leaves using a maker pen so that I could spread the colour with water and my brush. Next I stamped grass and small flowers, again spreading the colour. I added some colour to the hill to imitate a crop growing.Then created the hedge using a tall flower head stamp, stamped sideways several times. I spread the hedge colour with my brush and then add a little more colour for the green of the paddock. Finally I hand drew a few birds.

Colourful fungi

I have been meaning to post this wonky picture for some time but then kept forgetting. Holly and I went up to Maroondah Park last year and took lots of photos of fungi ( my friend Christine will appreciate the subject matter) because we thought they were quite beautiful in their own way.

Weekend Offerings

These are two of the layouts I made at our scrapping weekend in Tootgaroot recently. The first one is my oldest daughter on a weekend escape in South Africa (whilst she was working out there in 2008). The paper is from the recent release by Kaiser craft - Offshore This next one was from way back in 2006, on a trip to Warrandyte. We managed to get up quite close to some beautiful Rainbow Lorikeets. This paper is from the Nature collection by Diecuts with a view.

I have more to show you but they are awaiting journalling. Hopefully soon, but I am notoriously bad at finishing them, once the creative process is over, I lose interest. And really the whole idea of scrapbooking is to record the details, isn't it. I must try harder, but don't hold your breath.
