Happy Tuesday
So, thank you to all of you who encouraged me with the loose watercolor technique in this card. You all inspired me to try another card with it! I went looking for some challenges and found
the inspiration for inked/sprayed backgrounds at Just us Girls and monochromatic at The Flower Challenge
As this was a floral challenge, I began with an old Atenew set called I adore you. I took a piece of Arches hot pressed water color paper and inked the background with gold water color and then stamped and loosely watercolored the flowers and leaves. I fussy cut the elements and placed them on the card base.
Here's my card:
It was incredibly sunny when I took this photograph, so it might look a little odder than normal! But it really is a mixture of shades of brown. I added some splatters to the base and ran the base through my die cutting machine with the Postal Frames die from The Greetery.
I will be back with another card tomorrow. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee
