Always Friends in Blue- CAS Watercolour Challenge

Welcome

I can't believe we have turned another page of the calendar but that means it's time for another fun challenge at the 

CAS Watercolour Challenge

Our theme this month is Something Blue.

Guest Designer:  TaeEun (rainbow in November)

So you have to know that this challenge is right up my alley!!

So onto my card details.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and secured my Rectangle Mask over it as I wanted to be left with a clean, white border when finished.  

I wrapped my acrylic block with some elastic bands, then inked it up with some Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks, sprayed with water and stamped.

Here is a picture of what my block looked like wrapped with the elastics:

Next, I placed the piece into my Misti and inked up the Silhouette Leaves with some Mermaid Lagoon DOX ink and stamped to the side.  I sponged the edges to define the stamped area with some Tumbled Glass DOX then added the sentiment using my Misti again.  

I removed the mask and scored around the inking with my ScorPal to add a framing effect.

I mounted the piece onto a piece of blue cardstock then onto a plain white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
