I love this man .. with Off The Rails Scrapbooking

The challenge this month at Off The Rails Scrapbooking was right up my alley .. watercolours.

I love this man

This layout started out on this piece of kraft cardstock but ended in disaster. I threw it to the side of my desk to dry off. I was playing with my new Ken Oliver Color Burst watercolours for the first time. Next up I tried what is recommended, watercolour paper. Into the trash went a piece of 12x12 Prima watercolour paper. There was something of a mess happening on my desk. I used the other side of the kraft cardstock I'd tossed to the side to mop it up and voila. I kinda really liked it.


Although not what I originally had in mind, I love how this came together and I'm thankful for this month's Off The Rails Scrapbooking challenge. It was the impetus I needed to get out my Color Bursts and have a play.

If you think you'd like to give this month's challenge a go, you can find all the details you need HERE. Happy scrapping!

    Oh my goodness! GORGE!!!! I love everything about this LO. Can I ask what the 'turquoise beaded stuff' is? (haha, sorry, trying to explain myself!). The colours are phenomenal and I just love all the texture <3 <3 <3

    LOL ya dag! They're called Prills. At first I wanted them in every colour but thought they were a bit exy for a tiny jar or heads but they last forever. I still only bought colours I knew I'd use though! ;) xx

    Love the story of resurrection!! I've been eyeing off the Ken Oliver colours but wasn't sure that I really "Needed" them! Great to see how you've used them and I love the addition of the prills on this page! Thanks for joining us at Off the Rails Scrapbooking.
