The Alley Way Stamps Birthday Giveaway!

Woohoo! Guess what? We are celebrating The Alley Way Stamps birthday this month. Before I share my card for this birthday with you, TAWS have two surprises for you. Firstly, there's an awesome coupon code for you to use when you purchase those adorable stamps from TAWS.



and...secondly, giveaway! Leave a comment on this post telling me your favourite TAWS stamp and stand a chance to win this gorgeous stamp. I will post the winner on the 16th January. The winner will need to contact me within a week to claim his/her prize :) Everyone from all over the world are welcome to enter. 


Okay, now for my card. I've made this card to share my love for TAWS on it's birthday :) I've using those bold words from the Bubbly stamp set and the string of hearts from the Cake Day stamp set and heat embossed them in white on a watercolour paper. I took my watercolour and started off with a darker shade of red towards the base of the card. I took yellow and gently mixed in with the red so that it will give a nice gradient :)

  27. Marina your card is beautiful and harmonious. Your card is an excellent one to start watercolouring, the use of only two colours makes me feel that I could even create a card like this. Thank you so much for the inspiration and I have enjoyed all your birthday celebrations this week, so much so that I had to make a purchase! Lovely to meet you, cheers!
