I also tried to get some painting this summer but found out to my great chagrin that watercolour paper does go off... or to be precise the sizing (coating) that prevents the colour sinking in the paper. I do have a lot of old paper since I started card making and scrapbooking. Looking forward to that extra hour in bed tomorrow, shame about the cold weather coming in and the short days. Still, hope you are having a good time and taking time to play with the meerkats! xCraftyfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10107809970586860108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953400664562878825.post-54659886087278840142023-10-27T19:58:43.724+01:002023-10-27T19:58:43.724+01:00Very pretty and I should think perfect for the rec...Very pretty and I should think perfect for the recipient as not everybody likes fantasy, Vintage or steampunk! I only have background types of folder but I was tempted by the Lisa Horton Embossing folder and die sets. The 3D aspect gives something different and it's always good to test new styles and ideas in crafting.Craftyfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10107809970586860108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953400664562878825.post-28111124873364400412023-10-27T19:54:14.191+01:002023-10-27T19:54:14.191+01:00Your idea to cut out the stencil was inspired!
