Unfolding for CAS Watercolour

Hello my friends. I'm so glad you stopped by!

I have another card two cards with complementary colors.

Jenny has challenged us to use complementary colors on our cards at

CAS Watercolour.

 

I've used red and green this time.

I've done a no line watercolor look by placing this stamp in my MISTI and first inking

the flower heads with Spun Sugar, then inking the petals with Distress Markers.  

By using the MISTI I can ink small sections

and stamp and even stamp again if I need more definition.

I used a damp waterbrush to move the colors and when it was all painted

and dried, I used a little re-inker and the wet on wet technique to

add a light wash to the background.

I added some lines and highlights to the flowers with watercolor pencils.

This is quite a large image, so I cut one flower off and fussy cut it out

to go on a second card.

I love getting a twofer out of one image!

Our Guest Designer, Anita has added her fantastic inspiration to our
Design Team's line up.  I hope you'll go check out CAS Watercolour
and join in too.  It's open until the 24th!


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
