Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! You've Got This

Hi

Welcome to this week's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.

I got this stamp set for free by participating in a demo-only social media challenge recently. So exciting! I love free stuff....especially free stamps. :)



Perfect Plum is a fairly bold colour, but when it is watercoloured the saturation is so much easier to control so the flower came out quite soft and subtle which I liked. 

Here are our colours....


I used the Mojo Monday sketch to help me too. :)

    Alison this is just beautiful! I agree - the Perfect Plum looks altogether more subtle when watercoloured and tones in beautifully on your card. The lace treatment is the perfect finishing touch too. I LOVE it!
