Soft Spring Colors

The Paper Players are having a great challenge this week. Jaydee is the hostess for this wonderful CAS challenge with a twist...'watercolour'. I haven't done water coloring in a while so I thought it would be fun to dig out the watercolor papers and give this challenge a try. The challenge at Card Crafters Circle is to use pastel or gentle colours.

After stamping this Raisin Boat "Joyous Garden" image onto my paper it was heat set, then I use a small detail brush to apply water over the image. The cute mailbox was colored using Distress and Vivid ink pads. Just press the ink pad into an old CD then pick up the desired color using a wet brush.

The background was flooded with water before I added the blue for the sky.

I rotated the "Freshly Made Sketch" to a portrait view to create this card.

I find it very difficult to do CAS...I simply love it and admire those who can do this genre. This is about as CAS as I get.

Back to creating cards in my Butterfly Garden.
