Watercolouring and DT Call at 613 Avenue Create


Good Morning,

Today we have a brand new challenge over at 613 Avenue Create.

As always its Anything Goes with the Optional Twist – Watercolouring



We also have a DT call for anyone who is interested in becoming one of our resident designers. We are looking for two new designers to join our happy team.
No previous Design Team experience is necessary.
Successful applicants will be expected to produce one project per month and comment on entries to the challenge.
If you are interested please email Sheryl –
bydesign613@btinternet.com
Please include a link to your blog, pictures of your favourite projects and a few lines about yourself.


I have two cards to share today one playing the twist and one anything goes.

For my first card I heat embossed ‘Christmas Rose’ from stamps by Chloe and watercoloured it.

I used Whimsy stamps envelope edger dies, a memoy box rose leaf die and papers from Katie Pertiet aged perfection set.
