Hobby Art playday

 had a lovely relaxing day at Costessey yesterday with Moira Walters and most of the usual crowd.


We started using the lovely hummingbirds stamps set, and created a this card. It took a fair bit to do, first making the distress oxide background panel and leaving it to dry.
The birds were stamped onto the spare watercolour card using black versafine ink, coloured with inktense pencils and a waterbrush and then cut out.
The flowers were stamped  onto the dry panels and coloured with inktense pencils and koh-i-noor watercolor paints.
The backing card for the panels was painted using the same colour as the larger flowers.

The first bird was was glued to the front of the card, and the second was glued to the back of the front panel, matching the beaks as closely as possible.








The second card used stamps from the
 bee friendly set, and also had a distress oxide background. The frame was diecut from cream card, and the cutout coloured with distress inks and using a woodgrain stencil once the first layer was dry.
The daisies were stamped onto the background, and again onto spare cream card. The spares were coloured with inktense pencils and the flower heads cut out . The large bee was stamped onto the background and again onto spare card, whcih was coloured and the body and wings cut out after colouring.  Sentiment added , then the card assembled onto a 7" square blank card, with stickles glitter added to the bees wings.

 The last one uses stamps from the same set, stamped omto another distress oxide background. The flowers were coloured with amixture of watercolour pencils and distress markers. The large bee was stamped onto spare card, coloured and cut out, and glitter added to all the bee wings.
Marker pen round the edges, and a toning red card mat.
