Watercoloring & freezer paper masking to make a Valentine's day card

Hi,
My vlog & blog for today is a watercolour card that I made using a masking technique. I did not use artist masking fluid, but I used something from the kitchen. Freezer paper is the masking medium today. It was not an artist or craft supply. It is used to wrap and keep meat in a refrigerator ( fridge ). One side of the paper is coated with plastic like substance. Place the shiny plastic coated surface facing the watercolour paper. Then heat is applied using an iron box. The plastic coating on the freezer paper starts to melt and it gets adhered to the watercolour paper. That's how it works. Now its time to paint watercolour the paper.
I used 3 patterns for painting. All the three patterns are cut using Cricut electronic cutter.
once the painting is dried complete, remove the freezer paper to reveal the masked pattern.

Supplies used are
Strathmore watercolour paper
Sakura Koi watercolour 24 set paint
Royal & Langnickel Zen round brush no 14
reynolds freezer paper

Watercolor & doodling a bunch of rose Valentines day card

Hi,
My yesterday's vlog was a doodled and watercoloured card. I have didn't have any intention of making a card, however, the watercoloring that I did on Saturday turned out to be awesome I guess. So I added some more dimension by doodling something on that. I was watercoloring some polka dots in Quinacridone rose colour> it turned out to be good. So I added some leaves using a mix of 2part  Permanent green & 1 part Viridian Green Hue. Then I doodled some easy petals with the help os some waterproof black pen.
That was good to see hmm. I cut the painting into 2 parts and then joined them using a printed vellum sheet.

This is what it looks like 

How pretty N cute, right?

Supplies used are

Shadowbox cards are my favourites. I started liking them at once I saw them made by some of the creators of Lawn Fawn. They used their dies for making this box card. As I do not own a die cutting machine, I thought of making by my own. I made one, that was easy too.

Score the cardstocks at 4 inches  & 6 1/2inches on the 7-inch side.

For inside supporting pieces
3 cardstock pieces measuring 3/4 and 5 inches
score and fold at 1/2 inches from both sides of the 5-inch side.

Embellishments ( I made my own using Lawn Fawn fairy friends stamps )
