Complementary Colours- CAS Watercolour Challenge

Welcome

I can't believe that it is September already...wow, that summer when so quickly!

Happily though, it's time for a new theme at the 

CAS WATERCOLOUR CHALLENGE

This month our theme is Complementary Colours.

Here is a colour wheel to help you with that:

We are so happy to welcome our special guest this month

So onto my card details.

I decided to use green and red as my complementary colours.  Now usually you would think Christmas, but I wanted to go for something else.

So, I got out this fun Peacock Feathers stamp and my Brushos.  I placed my paper into my Misti then I diluted some green and red Brushos with water to activate the pigments and painted onto the stamp with a paint brush.

I also sprayed the stamp with water to help further activate the colour and help them blend together.

I concentrated most of the greens to the bottom and the reds to the top, that way the colours wouldn't muddy up and make brown.

The Misti is an invaluable tool to use with this technique as you can repeat painting the stamp until you are happy with the results and coverage you have.

While that dried, I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and white heat embossed it.  I pop dotted it over the dry image and mounted it onto a white card base.

I hope you come and play along with us.
