CAS Mix Up - Loose Watercoloring

 Hello friends.  I have a birthday card to share today.  I made this card using the loose watercoloring challenge at CAS Mix Up Card Challenge.

 


I watched several of the linked videos on loose watercoloring before making my card.  I stamped the flower and leaves from Reverse Confetti Peony stamp set in Versamark ink on watercolor paper and embossed them with Ranger Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder.  I then brushed the images with water and applied Gansai Tambi watercolors in a rose red and green.   It was fun to watch the watercolors spread over the stamped images.  I did it loosely so some colors got outside of the embossed edges,  I then die cut them with the matching dies.  I mounted the flower with foam tape to the card front and glued the leaves under the edges.  I then stamped the sentiment from Just Rite Large Fancy Sentiments.  It really is a CAS card - I have a hard time not using layers and embossing, but I like the final result.  I will definitely be doing more of the loose watercoloring technique.

 I will also link to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge - I used the center row down (birthday, CAS, sparkle).  The gold embossing sparkles.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

  4. Your loose watercolouring is fantastic JoAnn!! I love the beautiful, bold flower and leaves. It's gorgeous. Leaving all that white space makes the flower the star ... as it should be! :) Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
