Just over a month to join in at CAS Watercolour.
Another Rainbow card for
Loll's CAS Watercolour Challenge
This was a test of using the Acetate Smoosh Technique I used on this card.
It was too pretty to throw away.
I added the silhouette birds on a wire, die cut twice and stacked,
then framed it, stamped a sentiment and was done.
Well I did mount the design on a piece of foam and attach it to a card base.
Then I was done!
The bird die was a gift from a sweet friend.
Thanks so much. I love it!
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

I'll echo Lynn, and then say "Why didn't I think of a design like this?" It's really neat with the birds silhouette over that splash of color Very fresh and fun. I like the shadowbox effect with the stitched edges of the aperture enclosing that pretty rainbow & birds! TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteSo glad you saved your watercolored piece with rainbow colors. Perfect for your die cut birds on a wire:-) TFS Hugs...

What a striking rainbow of color behind your birds on a wire. Great watercolor background, Bonnie. Love how you were able to keep the colors separated too.
ReplyDeleteOn my, this kaleidoscope of colours works for those lucky birds ...and for me :D

A lovely smooshed rainbow. And a lovely design with all that white and the black silhouettes.
ReplyDeleteI find sometimes the practice pieces turn out as good or better than the finished card. This one is so colorful, Bonnie, and goes great with the bird silhouette.
ReplyDeleteAn amazing contrast between the beautiful background and the black silhouettes of birds. It looks stunning !!
