What an exciting day!
I am thrilled to announce that I am the newest team member of the CAS Watercolour Blog!
I think we all love the look of watercolouring which is so easy with the help of all the wonderful stamps we have in our collections.
This month the theme at the CAS Watercolour Blog is:
So onto my card.
I began by getting out my MISTI and placing my PB flower stamp into it. I simply coloured with Memento markers, sprayed with water and pressed onto my heavy weight cardstock.
I sponged Salty Ocean Distress inks around my image, then using a PB script stamp, I randomly stamped with Versamark ink and white heat embossed.
To add just a bit of extra interest, I stenciled randomly using a piece of drywall tape with more of the ink.
I stamped the sentiment from Rubbernecker with black Memento ink.
Adding my card to these challenges:

ReplyDeleteThis PB flower is one I have long admired Karen, and I love that colour blue which makes the white embossing stand out beautifully, and I love that extra subtle bit of stencilling in the background too. x

Karen, I am so glad you are on the team with me. I learn so much from you! This is a truly gorgeous card - blue is my favourite colour and you do blue so well! Perfect random text stamping - and I love the idea of heat embossing it to add some texture.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on making the DT!! I know you must be beyond excited! Gorgeous card, Karen.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing text in collage style cards and water colored ones. It's just the perfect tough. This is a vision of loveliness in blue! Your fave!
ReplyDeleteI saw this early this morning on FB. It is another gorgeous blue delight! You certainly know the right way to make them as they are always so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous! I never fail to marvel at the depth you achieve on your cards!!
ReplyDeleteOH MY is this ever beautiful! I love how crisp your image is yet you still achieved that wonderful watercolor look. Your colors are glorious, Karen! This is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all Congratulations on your new DT position. They sure have a winner with your amazing talent. I'm sure going to have fun with their challenges.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolute masterpiece you have created here Karen. Simply gorgeous. Another stunner! You never cease to amaze me what comes from your talented fingers...
Congratulations on being on the CAS Watercolor team, Karen. They knew what they were doing when they picked you. It fascinates me how you can 'sponge around' an image without smearing and stamp over so precisely. Beautiful card as always.
ReplyDeleteWOW WOW WOW I love your blue card, Karen.
