Happy Saturday!
This morning I am playing along with the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast where we are being inspired by the China Online Museum.
Here is the lovely painting that I used as inspiration:
lin-fengmian- Mountain Forest
I began with a piece of heavy watercolor paper I got from a friend so not sure what the weight is.
Using my MISTI, I inked the trees stamp from Mark's Finest by coloring it with Memento and Crayola markers. After spraying with a generous amount of water, I stamped, added more colour, sprayed with water and stamped again. The rest is a watercolor wash.
I cut the piece into panels and pop-dot mounted it to my card front.
I stamped the sentiment from Paper Smooches under one of the panels.
Adding my card to these challenges:
Simon Says- ANYTHING GOES
Little Red Wagon- THEY SAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY
Just Add Ink- JUST ADD NATURE
Crafty Girls- ANYTHING GOES
Addicted to CAS- HOLIDAY
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look
Supplies: stamps- Mark's Finest, Paper Smooches/ watercolor paints/ Memento and Crayola markers/ pop dots/ watercolour paper/ Mini Mister

So artistically gorgeous Karen!! :)
I love this card and pinned it as I do most of yours:) I tried your woodgrain backgrounds technique on 3 cards posted this week. Take a look here: http://karenskreativekards.blogspot.com/

Thanks so much for joining us with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
I love the way you broke up your beautiful water coloured scene into panels Jan! It adds a lot of interest to the simple scene. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
This is beautiful, Karen!
Your card is absolutely gorgeous! I love the three panel design and I am going to have this on my radar for one of my next cards. I love the layout! Thank you very much for taking part in our ATSM challenge. Creative regards from stempelfrida

Oh wow, this looks amazing! I love the way your panels don't line up. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink.
Fabulous, Karen. I'd say you have the water spritzing technique down. I tend to get either too much or too little. The colors blend just perfectly on this card.
