GREY BUTTERFLIES BY TRACY ERCOLE Featured “I love watercolouring, so I just had to use that medium on my cards in some way. Watercolouring for me was initially very daunting, but when I let go and just played, I started to love the effects I was getting. Once I had completed the background panels I thought it didn’t really need much else, so I decided to go with neutral stamping. I think the contrast between the bright watercoloured stripes and the grey stamping is very striking. Multi-layering stamp sets which many companies have released, really make the creating process so much simpler, you get wonderful results. If you haven’t got any in your collection yet, give them a go, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.” EMOJI’S BY JANET O’BRIEN Featured…
