CAS Mix Up September Watercolour Wash

Time for our CAS Mix Up Watercolour Wash Challenge!

I used Stamping, Distress Oxides Watercolour Wash, Fussy Cutting and Doodling!

I started out by using a flat paint brush to liberally brush on water to a piece of Strathmore Cold Press paper.  Swiped my ink pads onto my craft mat and spritzed with water.   Then used same wet brush to add T.H. Distress Oxide ink Wild Honey part way down paper.  Then did the same wet on wet technique to add Abandoned Coral DOX ink blending the two colors.  As I worked down the paper I added darker layers of the Coral.  I loved how the 2 colors blended from honey to light coral to darker coral shades effortlessly with the DOX inks.

Next I placed my watercolour washed paper into my MISTI and stamped my STAMPlorations "Caffeinated Zen 1" using Archival Jet Black Ink.  That was when I decided to stamp the flower sleeve again using the black ink onto another white piece of the WC paper.  I liked the results.

I fussy cut the WC Wash cup and the black and white sleeve.  Shaped both with my bone folder. Attached sleeve with liquid glue.  Then doodled a border using my Staedler pen then placed in my MISTI and stamped my sentiment.

I attached my cup with foam tape down the middle back of cup to give the curved effect.  added Nuvo Glitter Drops to 3 of the flowers and was done!  I really liked how my Flat Watercolored Wash card turned out and it will be fun to use for a beverage gift card:-)

This was such a quick and easy card,  which is great for this busy time of year.  Enjoy and hope you get to join our talented Design Team and our very CAS talented Guest Designer, Cathy R (Cathy's Card Spot) this month. You have until September 24th to play along:-)
