Take Three Colours ...

Washing, shopping, gardening, cooking and crafting - what else should you do on your Wedding Anniversary!!  That's all that I've been up to today 28 years after saying 'I do'.  I'm ashamed to say that I bought my husband a card even though I spend all my spare time crafting. I left it too late to create a special card maybe I should make one now ready for next year!

I've just signed up for the 'Watercolour for cardmakers' course at onlinecardclasses.com so have spent sometime today doing pre-course homework!!  I even dragged out a set of water colour paints that I was given as a gift years and years ago but never got around to using.  So I'm all set for the off on Monday.  I'm really looking forward to learning some new techniques.

I have managed to create one card this afternoon to enter into a number of challenges.  I've used three colours to fit this weeks challenge at "Less is More" along with the sketch from CAS(E) this sketch.  The Simonsaysstamp Wednesday Challenge where 'Anything Goes'.

The sentiment is die cut and inlaid into the card

I really have to do something about my photographs - the dots are beautiful turquoise and not as dull in real life as they appear in this photograph.

I used the following:
Simon Says Stamp - Lots of Dots stamp set
Stampin Up Inks - Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana
Stampin Up Card - Bermuda Bay
Navy card from my stash
Clearly Besotted Hello Word Die

I need to finish my post with a big thank you.  Firstly to my new followers - welcome to my blog and thank you for joining me.  Secondly I need to thank the bloggers at Sketch Saturday for honouring me with a top three place for this card.

And finally a big thank you to TIME OUT challenge where "I got Honours at taking Time Out" for this card.

Enjoy!
