Freestyling with Florals

Well my new Mama Elephant goodies arrived last week... just in the middle of the half-term hols!!!  Luckily I had a chance to play with the Freestyle Florals set yesterday afternoon whilst hubby was out getting soaked with the mutt and the boy was happily watching his fave TV programme ;)

I'm sharing both these cards on my DT blog post today over at Make the Day Special Stamp Store and they were inspired by a few challenges out there in blogland at the moment so I best get them entered.

My first card is for Colour Me, which has a gorgeous pallette this week and just look at the graphic to go with it...Yum!!! It also follows the sketch at Retro Sketches this week too...
                                      

I used distress inks to colour these... they are fast becoming my favourite way of watercolouring because they are so forgiving :)


My next project is for the Monochrome challenge at CASology....apologies if you don't like the colour green!!...Lol

Not as happy with this but it's okay... tried using proper watercolours and there's definitely a difference in the way you use them!! Love the vellum sentiment strip though, it softens the edge between the florals and the block of colour :)
                                                           

Well that's all from me... need to get the washing out whilst the sun is shining and before the showers arrive later!!
