Having a go at watercolouring with Zigs

 


Hi everyone, I've had a set of Zig real colour brush pens for a while now and haven't really used them.
Since I'm trying to use more of my stuff, I thought I'd persevere with them.
Some colours seem to work better with water laid down first, and others seem to flow easily with water added afterwards. Hmmm...I'll keep playing lol!

I stamped the flowers and leaves with versafine clair nocturne and embossed them with gold fine detail powder. I don't have the matching dies so fussy cut the flowers and leaves.

I love this sentiment that the lovely Darnell gifted me many years ago, a favourite at this time of year!

I'm linking up to these challenges:

Double D, pretty florals for Mum

Fab n Funky, embossing wet or dry,
I've gone with wet this time.
Sparkles Monthly Challenge, April showers bring May flowers
I've gone with, embossing, free and gold in the centre this time.

Supplies:
Altenew perfectly perfect floral stamp; Casual Fridays mums the word sentiment stamp; vesafine clair nocturne ink; Wow fine detail rich gold ep & clear ep; Zig markers; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

  2. I think you have coloured the flowers beautifully using the Zig markers Cathy, and such bright and pretty colours, and the sentiment finishes it beautifully..a wonderful card for Mother's Day, and I'm sure you Mum will just adore it. x
