Current Design Love: Watercolour

How freaking gorgeous is this?! I love everything, the simple font, design.. and the contrast of colourful watercolour is just perfect!!

This gorgeous design element can add a fun pop of colour or create an elegant texture and offers a flowing contrast to strong, simple or bold typography. To incorporate watercolour into computer graphics all you need is some watercolour paints to make up some designs then use a scanner to upload them to your computer and finally add your typography, its really is so simple.

Hope you got some inspiration from today's post!

Pom Pom Pants!

I am so obsessed with these gorgeous shorts from Wonderlandhonolulu on Etsy. The colours and prints are just perfect and the pom poms are just the right touch! Check out this amazing shop, there are lots more cute finds where these come from :)

Enjoy!

Current obsession; making a gif...

I recently found a website that allows you to upload your photos and it makes them into a gif. It's called Picasion. This is my latest one, I used pretty images I've found on the inter-web, to sort of make a collage of me :)

Oh... and I used Picnik to make my photos rounded :)

The website I used to find these inspiring images is called We Heart It. It's my favourite site and you can follow me on it here.

Geometric Nails!!

I was inspired by the nail art on eva foreva. I thought it would be pretty simple, although I new mine wouldn't turn out as nice as these. I loved the colour scheme of blue and black

These were mine...

What you need...

2 different colours of nail polish

Scissors

Tape

Cut 5, 11/2 inch pieces of sticky tape. Wrap around each finger leaving the section you want to paint.

Paint with first colour then remove tape.

Apply second round of sticky tape when first colour is still wet (when dry it goes flaky and gets pulled off, when sticky tape is pulled off) 

Paint with second colour and remove tape.

(Trying to take a photo with my left hand and with wet nails= disaster photography) hehe

And walla!!  enjoy...

Knock please

My baby sister recently asked me to make her a sign for her cubby house saying 'please knock'. I wanted to make something very cute and homely. So I used an emroidery style template from frankie's backgrounds...

Then I added some cute text in picnik, note: I kept with the homely theme.

And thats it! She loves it but we still need to get to a printer to print it out, hehe. Everyone is free to use it but for personal use only! Enjoy...

Oceans of Love

Some beautiful pictures from Ocean of Emotion

Scrabble letters

Right now I am obsessed with the look of cute sayings made from wooden tiles on gorgeous floral backgrounds. Here are some of my favourites...
