CAS Mix Up Watercolour Wash Reminder

Time for our  CAS Mix Up Watercolour Wash Reminder Hosted by Bonnie.

Be sure and check out the Gorgeous Watercolour Wash cards by our talented Design Team and Guest Designer, Cathy R (Cathy's Card Spot)


Here is my Watercolour Wash CAS So Sorry Card!


I found this pretty Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolour Paints Wash in my stash from our Spring trailer camping trip.  I die cut it using my Poppystamps "Flora Stem Collage" Die.  I die cut the same die again using SU Thick Whisper White CS.  I then inlaid the WC background pieces just like a puzzle and used scotch tape on the back to secure the background pieces.

I used a separate  flower in the die set and die cut it with Whisper White CS to add dimension. Next   I found an Alcohol Ink background in my stash with yellows, blues and greens and placed my flower die on a section with mostly yellows and a bit of green and die cut.  It is not a bright flower,  but I wanted a softer color because I will be using this card for my thinking of you type of cards for my stash.  I unfortunately seem to need this style of card too often.

I attached my flower with SU Fine Tip Glue Pen.  Next coloured the stem with my Zigs. Then I placed my card front in my MISTI and stamped the PB "Heartfelt Thanks" sentiment using Archival Black Ink.

I do love the texture from the Watercoloured Wash background and simplicity.  I will stamp another sentiment inside later.

Enjoy and hope you get to play along with our CAS Mix Up Watercolour Wash Challenge. There are several very helpful videos on the CMU site too.  You have until the 24th to play along.  Happy Stamping.  Hugs...
