I can't get enough of Shirley Bee's style of water colouring right now and decided to see if I could use it with these stamps. From my point of view the jury is out on my first attempt but everyone has to start somewhere. I added a sentiment from my newly arrived Winnie & Walter set 'The big, the bold and the happy'. I love these bold script stamps and feel that the W&W girls have filled a gap in the sentiment market with these beauties.
I'm linking up with Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes Challenge. I'm new to this site, but loving the DT cards and the challenges so would recommend you drop by and take a look.
Finally, I'm going to share a few pics from yesterday. Anyone who has been following my blog for a while will be aware of my hubby's devotion to our local football team Halesowen Town aka The Yeltz. Yesterday, we traveled to Belper in Derbyshire to cheer on the lads to a stunning 2-0 victory thus ensuring promotion to the Northern Premier League Premier Division. Here are the scenes following the final whistle.
One man pitch invasion! Hubby was over the barriers and away...
Our 'Ben 10': the hero of the hour and the club's top goal scorer with Hubby.
Well done lads, you did us proud!

Hey, thanks for the shoutout - and well done on your first watercolour, great job! I keep being drawn to that ranunculus set, it'll have to go on my list :) Great use of the W&W stamps too (enter it into their join in to win challenge on their site). Thanks so much for joining in at Seize The Birthday - and well done The Yeltz!!
Very pretty card. Your watercoloring is beautiful! I'm so glad you joined us at Seize The Birthday, and hope to see more of your work!
Well, those gorgeous flowers are definitely the stars of the show. Love the sentiment on vellum too! Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday!
Your colouring on the flowers looks awesome Jo. Love the watercolouring with the distress inks. A favourite technique of mine. I've ordered that W&W set and can't wait for it to arrive. Love it embossed on the vellum
That is a great stamp and you've coloured them beautifully. I will have to investigate those sentiment stamps. :)
I like how you've used the stamps. It creates a fun bold look that goes great with the large sentiment. Eye catcher for sure Jo. :-) Congrats to your team on their win! Hugs!
wow! wow! wow! This is really a stunning card!
Love it!

I didnt see it is out of your comfort zone Jo...it looks like you did very well and the coloring are adorable the sentiment on the vellum is totally caught my eyes..how to make the paper after embossing again plain Jo...if I embossed Velum paper it always get not more Plain...I think I have to choose a thick one LOL...And nice Picture of football match....My Hubby was painting the room also I have no chance to make cards or do blogging last week now I try to catch up Jo...hugs...Monika
