If there's one thing that I have always loved about the CAS Mix Up Challenge, it's the fact that there are always lots of different techniques to try. This time it's Loose Watercolouring.
If you are unsure of what to do, here are some terrific video tutorials.

For my card, I began by spritzing the surface of the card with water before stamping the grid stamp by SU, then over-stamping with the Penny Black Butterfly and spritzing a little more to allow the colour of the Distress Oxide ink to move around. I stamped a little more card for the sentiment and die cut the (Pink Fresh) Thanks.
Happy New Year Everyone!
This has turned out so well, love that colour and what a brilliant idea to make the sentiment match the stamping. Must remember that one xx
ReplyDeleteI love the layers you used as a background for your gorgeous butterfly! Die cutting the sentiment from the watercolored was a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love the overstamping, Chrissie, and the movement of the color! The sentiment is a perfect match!

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous take on the loose watercolouring technique. I love the layered stamping, and the way you've stamped the die cut is a nice touch xx
I love this effect, Chrissie. Isn't it great to find different ways to watercolour?? Your butterfly is so beautiful, especially in the shade of turquoise. The grid in the background is a great place for your butterfly to land. xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Chrissie, love the way the blue wash covers the butterfly ♥
ReplyDeleteSimply the epitome of CAS with that lovely butterfly. Love the way you offset it within the mounting plus the added texture of the grid. Just exquisite.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Chrissie!
