MY RECENT CRAFT PURCHASES

I have bougth some cool stuffs for paper crafts recently,thougth to share with you all.

Tile punch:i jus love the effect

Crimper:I have wondered whether i could get one in chennai,but finally i got it.
Some really cool stamps
Paper trimer:Cutting a paper in a straigth is really a tougthest thing for me:)so this is really usefull.

Peel off stickers
Loads of 3d stickers

Punches:I am in a great love with punches these days and collecting it for past 4 months,now i have around 80,hoping to reach 100 soon:)

WATER COLOUR PAINTING:SNOW SCAPE

I did this water colour painting some time back.Water colour is one of the tough n challenging medium,but very interesting too.It dries in no time,so you have to be really really fast and no ways to hide the or rectify the mistakes as it is totally transparent(as i do in other paintings:))).Doing a snow scape in water colour is bit challenging,bcoz the paper white should be preserved as white colour is not used in water colours.
I am happy with the out come,hope you all too like it.
Happy painting
