Think Spring and Water Colour

I have combined 2 challenges with the one at Digital Tuesday being 'Think Spring' I thought the tulips would be nice for that and then at Try it on Tuesday the challenge was Water Colour Painting. The sponsors at Try in on Tuesday this week are One Stop Craft Crafts with lots of goodies to buy there.

I decided that water colours aren't really my thing after digging out a set I have had for years and trying to paint this lovely FSS free digital image. I have used it to make a cover for a notebook. Maybe I should start practicing more with this medium as the colours are really lovely just my painting that isn't :(

    Your notebook is gorgeous. I love those tulips and the painting is lovely, just right for our water colour challenge. Thanks for joining us this week at TioT's.

    Now that I have crawled out of my hole (reorganising the stamp room) I am briefly back (off to a show for the weekend) and able to look at blogs for a short while.
    Love the lace edging and the ribbons you have used and there is nothing wrong with your painting.
    If you remind me when I get back I will do a tutorial for that card.
    Hugs, Neet xx

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery.
