Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Pootles – Watercolouring – a new addiction…!
It’s official. I’m addicted to watercolouring.
I’m still not confident enough to film a tutorial, but maybe in a few weeks? Who knows! But I had the most fun making this card!
I wanted to just sploosh colour onto a piece of cardstock and then hack it about. Essentially that’s exactly what I did….. I used Shimmer Card for it, though I do now have some Watercolour Cardstock on order and I can’t wait for it to arrive!
My colours are a real rainbow, but I reckon this look could work with 3 or 4 colours of the same tone? Maybe blues or pinks?
I went simple with the wording and decided to use the Hello You Thinlits stuck down with a hint of Fine Tip Glue.
Simple is definitely me, and although the drying takes time on these cards, they’re so worth it!

Love this card Sam. I think shimmery card stock adds a very cool dimension.
Thanks Sam I am a bit nervous of doing water colouring, this card has inspired me to have a go. TFS.
Clever….
Glad you had fun with this! You’ve made a pretty background. I have just ordered the shimmery white card for water coloring, just to see how it looks. I love the look of yours, so now I’m excited! 🙂

I love how you put the background in two pieces. I’m definitely going to try this. And I actually have that thinlit set! Thanks for sharing this idea, Sam!
I love watercolor also. So much so, that I just purchased Brusho powder paints. Thanks for all the great posts. You are so very talented.
I love this!!!! your watercoloring is awesome…and I love how you cut the background into 2 pieces…clever idea…can’t wait for your video….tfs
Love this. Must have a go with my Brusho paints.
I love the way the colours blend. It is indeed an outstanding card!!
I was trying to work out how you’d done the glittery shimmer. I love this effect. Think will have to give it a try xx
Love the card.
Speed up drying time with a little heat in the back…. it uncurls the card too.
Happy Spring
Gorgeous, and love the split. You used the inks to watercolor?!
Spectacular! I love the watercolor, too. Although, I need to actually do it again.
