Happy Little Stampers: Watercolour

Let's welcome the end of January and the start of February with a new Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge! With an anything goes theme, all themes and styles are welcome. I used watercolour powders and markers for mine: 



I decided I wanted to use my Alice stamps for this card, and started by stamping, embossing and watercolouring this sitting Alice. Although it's a cupcake, not a teacup in her hand, as long as one knows the story she pairs well with the sentiment. (I pondered making more of a tea party scene, but it just wasn't in my cardmaking wheelhouse the day I made it. :D) For the background, I used two shimmery watercolour powders in pink and blue to go with my Alice. For the card base, I blended some pale blue ink around the edges before adhering my main panel. There is also the smallest possible dot of Glossy Accents on the cupcake's cherry. 


There are beautiful watercolour creations from my HLS teammates on the blog - hope you will be inspired to join us! 

Supplies: Neenah white cardstock, Canson & Ranger watercolour paper,  Miss Ink Tea Party stamps, Versafine onyx black & tumbled glass distress ink, Wow clear gloss embossing powder, Zig watercolour markers, Cosmo Cricket pool & candy Pixie Paints, MFT wonky stitched rectangle die, Glossy Accents, foam tape

Spectacular background, Lindsey! I didn't link her to Alice, but never mind, since I didn't even think that the cupcake and the sentiment don't match.. I mean, the card looks awesome, so who cares!! :D
