NBUS Fish cards

Hi there :)  Following on from yesterday's post about my NBUS fish cards... you might recall that I said I was 'hoping' to add some colour to my fish.  At the end of the last post they looked like this:

Well, it was Michael's turn to cook last night and we had fabulous hamburgers for dinner and then we sat down to watch some TV... and to be honest I was feeling a bit tired... and then around 9pm I suddenly got my 'second wind' and I grabbed my cards, my Peerless watercolours and my water brush and I got painting.

I absolutely adore the Peerless watercolours... they're vibrant and the colours blend together so well.  Of course the lighting was terrible but when I finished I did take a photo with my phone camera and here's the painted card fronts:

This morning I folded some cardstock and made three cards and I absolutely LOVE how they turned out.  I managed to get some decent photos this afternoon when I got home from work so here you go:

 stay strong

 kindle your spark of madness

And my personal favourite... stay brave

Of course I also needed a group photo:

I was showing one of the ladies at work a photo of what I'd been making and she said she'd love to have them framed in her bathroom... I might have to look into making some especially for her.

It turns out that using NBUS really can be super exciting... and very satisfying too!
