Luck of the Irish- CAS Watercolour Challenge

Welcome

Well we are into the month of March and it's time for another fun theme at the 

CAS Watercolour Challenge.

This month we are celebrating The Luck of the Irish!

Everyone's Irish on St. Paddy's Day right?!  So this month lets show some green, it could be shamrocks, meadows, leprechauns (or gnomes!), or use some color with a rainbow or something gold. It doesn't have to say anything about St. Paddy's Day but be inspired by it.

This month we also welcome our Guest Designer:  Hannelie (Desert Diva)

So onto my card details.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and positioned my Fern Garden stamp into my Misti. I got out my Green Brushos, sprinkled some into my palette then diluted it with a bit of water.  Using a wet brush, I painted the stamp with the green and pressed onto my paper.  I did spray the stamp with some water after the first impression was stamped to use all the little bits of colour still left on the stamp.  It also helps give the overall impression a more watercoloured look.

When all was dry, I die cut the middle area of my card with the hemstitch die to add interest, then stamped the sentiment.  I did add some faint grid stamping in the corners for interest as well.

I simply mounted it onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
