Special Friend- CAS Watercolour Challenge

Welcome.

I can't believe it's March already but you know what that means!  

Time for another fun theme at the 

CAS Watercolour Challenge.

This month our theme is to watercolour onto Vellum.

We have 2 great guest designers this month- 

Birgit (Rapport fran ett skrivoord)

Ros (Mikey's Mom)

I have to begin by saying that vellum is not one of my go-to mediums but it was fun to try something different for a change and I was glad to have some on hand to use.

So, I began with a piece of vellum, placed it inside my Misti to help hold it securely and positioned my leaves ready to stamp with.  I coloured my leaves with my Tombow markers, sprayed with water and pressed onto my vellum.  I will caution you, adding too much water will warp your piece of vellum and it is good if you can firmly secure it down to your surface in some way to help prevent that.  

I used a variety of blues and greens to colour my leaves then set aside to dry.
While that dried, I stamped the banner with the sentiment using my Misti, then fussy cut it out.  It needed something more, so using some black acrylic paint, I splattered using a wet paintbrush.
I also die-cut a frame that fit around my piece of vellum and glued it all together.
The framed vellum was pop dotted for interest as was the banner.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
