Purple dragonflies


Hi again,
 I've made a few watercolour panels with my new paints.
The dragonflies were cut from scraps of vellum and painted with twinkling H2Os.

I'm linking up to the challenge at Seize the Birthday where it's an anything goes birthday theme.


I'm also visiting the snippets playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.
The vellum scraps I have leftover are still big enough to punch or die cut a few tiny flowers from so they're back in the scrap box!

Edited to add: there's a purple challenge happening at Inkspirational so I'm also linking up there, thanks Sarah!


Supplies:
Kuretake Gansai Tambo paints; watercolour paper; Memory Box dragonfly die; vellum; twinkling H2Os; sentiment sticker.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

Looks fabulous...love these gorgeous blues.

Just trying some watercolour today but my paper dried a wee bit distorted. I ironed it and now have it weighted down...any other ideas

Wow Cathy, so beautiful! I absolutely need that beautiful die - am off on the hunt for it! A lovely change from butterflies and so clever to cut them from vellum then paint with H2O's!

Hugs

Quite simply beautiful and then some Cathy! I have been going back and forth on your blog to search out your beautiful creations. Your skill with these paints is amazing and I have loved looking at all of them. The, this card, the red watercolours and pink and gold flowers are particularly gorgeous!
I hope you don't mind because I am going to pin these to one of my Pinterest boards - they are so exquisite and will inspire me constantly Karen x

Love your gorgeous coloured panel Cathy. And the dragonflies are so beautiful. I have been looking at dragonfly dies on-line (there are quite a few), but I just love these ... so delicate and beautiful and a perfect size. Have to add them to my wish list! :) xx
