Amazing You

This is a project life style layout - pieces of square, rectangle cut papers with different patterns are collaged together to create the background. i drawed double sewing lines to create a more clear outline of each puzzle.

Actually i painted the centre circle in different colors as well as a heart, but it is finally covered by my amazing girl : ) and that's fine. 

This Wood Veneer Hoops from Crate paper, is so cute and comes in different sizes to choose from. 

Beside adding watercolour on the paper, i also draw lines to connect foil dots to make it more interesting.

And of course, cannot miss out my hand draw Zentangles on each piece.

At the end it comes with my handwritting title using the watercolour! 

Enjoy Now

This layout I would like to do something about painting, rather than just add watercolor. I referred to a painting I did last month as below.

and start drawing on this foil resist paper for the blue banner, pink flower, green leafs and the yellow cactus. Then cut them out. 

The best thing about this resist paper is, you just need to paint in a normal way but the pre-designed pattern will just turn out automatically. 

You just need to add watercolor, darnken the edges and highlight the outline. Easy, nice and it is personalised.I especially like those small hearts on this yellow cactus, so i use my pencil to trace the outline again.

This stamp is the add on material to this kit.
