Dear Friend … you are the best (HLS – Watercolour Challenge)

I was thrilled to have my card selected in the Top 3 over at AAA Birthday and would like to thank everyone for their support!

Hello again

Sadly, this the last Challenge for Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge, as HLS is closing indefinitely and we look forward to the day we are back. We would like to wish all our followers a very Merry Christmas and thanks for your support over the years.

Welcome to the last challenge for 2023 at HLS Watercolour Challenge for November 2023.

As always it’s Anything Goes with the option this month of Anything Goes. Just be sure it features watercolour. So easy to join in!

My card features HA – Bouquet Fancy and Curiosity Silhouette Fancy Dies.

I bought these after I saw them 3 years ago and fell in love with them.

After die cutting, I coloured the die cuts with Distress Inks and then added them to another die cut for stability.

I also added text from HA- Friends background stamp to the wrap for the bouquet.

The sentiment was from HA – Special Note of Thanks and Floral Lavender Bunch stamp sets.

The background is watercoloured using Altnew Watercolour pens.

Please head over to our blog and check out the wonderfully inspirational work by the rest of the Design Team!  I hope you will find the time to join our challenge this month.

I look forward to seeing what you create!  Good luck!

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit.  I love to read your comments.

Stay safe and wishing you all a very happy Christmas and that 2024 is a good one!!

Cheers

Helen

I live in sunny Queensland, Australia with my husband and daughter. Since I was a child, I have always loved to create and have enjoyed all kinds of crafts, sewing and painting. China painting helped develop my understanding of colour and design. Over the last few years card making has taken up a major part of my crafting time as I love to play with new techniques and mediums. Since beginning my blog, entering various challenges has encouraged me to grow my skills and creativity.

  3. Beautiful card. I love the tulips. Oh, this is the December challenge, but it doesn’t matter that you wrote November.

    So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for our December “flower(s)” month. Arlene with Die Cut Divas.
