It's time for another challenge at CAS Watercolour.
This month the amazingly artistic Karen is asking for...
I've had this set of birds for quite a while and I know I hadn't inked this stamp before.
For this card, I inked the whole stamp with Tea Dye Distress Ink and
used my waterbrush to blend out the ink adding more brown colors for some shading.
I used some Scattered Straw ink swiped on my palette to paint a
wet on wet wash.
I'll hope you'll check out the challenge and see what our fabulous Design Team
and our Guest Designer Birgit have done to inspire you.
Then join us with your monochromatic CAS card at
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!
