Garden Silhouettes- CAS Watercolour Challenge

Welcome and meet today's card.
Time for another card for the 

Great theme this month....Garden.


For the challenge this month, we ask that you include a garden and not just a flower.

We welcome Nonni from Nonni's Handmade Cards as our GD this month.  

Here's what I did to create my card.
I began by masking off my card front so I would have a nice clean white border when I was done.
Next, I inked the back of Mini Sweet Peas stencil with Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide inks, sprayed with water and pressed onto my paper to give me a monoprint.
*Be sure to let your paper dry when working with Distress Oxide inks, they smear when wet.*

When that was all dry, I stamped these flowers from Art Journey over the top using some more Distress Oxide inks.
I decided not to add a sentiment so my card could be used for any occasion.


I hope you will come and play along with us.

This is a fabulous card Karen, and I adore the shades of blue and the sweet pea stencil used as a monoprint in the background is so pretty, and then the AJ flowers make a real statement over the top. x
