Chinese Watercolour Cats

I wanted to make a card for the chap who looks after our cat in the best cattery I have ever seen;
Tippytoes Luxury Cat Hotel, Taverham.

I made an ATC like this several years ago and thought it would make the perfect male card for a cat lover.

The flowers were an after thought as I thought it needed a spot of colour and they're supposed to represent blossoms but they haven't really worked and had I not left it til the last minute, I would have done it differently. Lol.

Also, my watercolour paint had dried up (I know the feeling😃) so I used gouache which didn't give the translucent effect I really wanted.   Oh well...........

Eclipse Birthday Card

Went on holiday beginning of May in our campervan to meet up with friends in Ironbridge.

Well the weather was horrendous and I was feeling rotten with a stinking cold!  We managed one decent day at the very beginning where we went to Ironbridge.  After that the rain became torrential and when the awning carpet was floating we decided to come home early so didn't get to see anything else.

Ironbridge itself is absolutely though, even if it was a bit damp.

This was a photograph that I changed into a watercolour using Lunapic which is a free online editor.
Die cut the letters, backed them onto darker card and mounted them back into the negative space with foam pads.
