Thank you to the lovely ladies who came to my classes this month. We had a great time using the fantastic Beautiful You stamp set with the three gorgeous ladies.
The colour palette I chose was influenced by a card we made at our January team training session. I loved the Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay colour combination. So bright and summery for these cold and gloomy days.

For the first card we used the lovely Water Colour Pencils along with the Blender Pen to colour in the lady. I chose to add a sentiment from the Weather Together stamp set as ‘wishing you brighter days’ seemed to go so well with the image of the lady with her umbrella.

The ‘dancing lady’ was stamped onto Shimmery White cardstock as we were going to water colour using ink and an Aqua Painter and the Shimmery White stands up to the water better than regular Whisper White.

One of the ladies said the third lady reminded her of the stunning Audrey Hepburn and I have to say I agree. This lady was paper pieced, another fab technique, using a piece of the Bermuda Bay dsp from the Brights Paper Stack. The background was created using the Star mask from the Hearts and Stars Decorative Masks. Gorgeous.
I loved all three cards this month, these ladies are so elegant.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog today, come again soon.
