Cherry blossom beauty

 I just finished creating this and I am so excited with it , I couldn’t wait to share it ❤️

Cherry blossoms stamp set C1889 stamped using Intense Black exclusive ink as it doesn’t bleed when it gets wet so is perfect for using with markers, paints or pencils.

I colored the image using our fabulous CTMH watercolor paints Z3132 along with the medium round water brush Z3225 .

Thin cut Fancy Borders Z3682 created the pretty scallops and I used 3D foam tape behind the stitched bracket Z3631 for the sentiment 

I hope you love this as much as I do as I am not a painter so I was thrilled to get such a pretty result on the first attempt 😃

Feel so Blessed Stamp of the month card

Hello my friends - I know I have been missing for a few weeks but my excuse is that I have been creating artwork like CRAZY so now have lots to post :0)

This first card I am totally obsessed with - I love the colors !!!

I used the Black Memento ink as it is perfect when your are painting and using alcohol markers.

I used the Shinhan tour markers to color in the feathers and the words then I took the CTMH watercolor paints and added the color behind the words with very light colors and then the fun started. I loaded up my brush gin and spotted it over the crd stock. Love the way it turned out. Black and gold ribbon and black gems totally finished this and I love it :o)

Hope you like it too - Love Sara x

Fun 'Bunny' cards

Look at these adorable cards made with the February Stamp of the month. I am showing you on the first photo how I masked the baby bunny after I stamped him and then stamped his big sister over the top. Then when I removed the mask the larger bunny looks like she is standing behind her little brother :O)

I used CTMH watercolor paints to shade the background and CTMH watercolor pencils to color in the bunnies.

The second card was made by my good friend Heidi Witt and she was kind enough to make me one too - She used the ShinHan alcohol markers to color in her bunny and it is adorable.

Hope you like these and that it inspires you too. Order your February Stamp of the Month at sarabatkin.ctmh.com

The is the Reel Life - Life in Pictures Stamp of the Month

This card just makes me smile.  It is such a happy card :O)

I used the Watercolor Painted and the widest brush in the paintbrush set to create the 'color wheel' behind the black ink stamped image (when the paint was dry of course haha) and again black ink on the camera from this months Stamp of the Month, and Pacifica for the "hello today" image.

Coral, purple and blue shimmer trim and gold sequins finish it off :O)

Hope you like it - Love Sara xxx
