Rainbow for CAS Watercolour

Hello and welcome.

It's time for a new challenge at
CAS Watercolour

This month, Loll is hosting the challenge.

How fun is that?

I've had this Ironwork Background stamp for a long time.

It wasn't in my NBUS box, but I don't remember ever using it.

I could be wrong though.

I stamped and heat embossed the image onto Mixed Media paper.

To watercolor, I smooshed some Distress Ink onto a small piece of acetate, 

spritzed with water and pressed it onto the embossed piece.

You can see a tutorial for this on Karen's Snippets Blog.

I repeated this process using different colors and blending them together

a bit with the brush, sometimes drying in between colors.

When it was all dry, I die cut the piece and added the 

Memory Box butterfly and sentiment.

(The black outline butterfly has a solid die cut of vellum  underneath.)

Our Design Team has a beautiful variety of rainbow watercolor cards

to inspire you.  We are joined this month by our talented

Guest Designer, Hannelie (Desert Diva).

Hope we'll see your watercolor rainbows at CAS Watercolour this month.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
