Hey crafty friends, thanks for joining me today! I have a video up on my YouTube channel today, showing how I made this watercolour background card featuring a sweet little image from RAM Stamps called “Swinging Friends – Girls”.

Check out the video here:
The coloured pencils I used were Arteza 72 coloured pencils in the following shades:
Girl (left):
Dress – peony pink, fruit punch & fuchsia; pockets – fuchsia & plum purple
Tights – spring green
Shadows – smoke gray
Hair – honey, camel brown, burnt ochre
Skin – peaches and cream, apricot
Girl (right)
Top and boots – robin egg blue, Aegean blue
Shorts – flamingo pink & fuchsia
Hair – dark chocolate brown, cocoa brown & cinnamon
Skin – marmalade orange & burnt ochre
Flower – fruit punch & flamingo pink
Swing – sienna brown & cinnamon

I used Daler Rowney cold pressed watercolour paper for my background, and the Nuvo Shimmer powers I used were Atlantic Burst, Blue Blitz and Green Parade.
The sentiment is from a MFT Stamps set called Pretty Princesses, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I hope you’ll check out the video and I’ll see you soon!
