CAS Watercolour March "Garden" Challenge Reminder Card!
Springtime is such a Gorgeous time of year with thoughts of Spring Gardens!
Here is my Garden Card...Enjoy!
And a Close Up!
I chose the same older SU Stamp Set, "Long-Time Friend" that I used for my March Launch Card!
Both stamps are beautiful and easy to Watercolour.
I stamped my image with Versafine Black pigment ink onto Fluid 100 Hot Press WC paper and heat embossed with SU Clear EB Powder. Then began the fun of relaxing Watercolouring with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush and Aqua Painter. I let each layer dry, which does not take long, before adding another layer of color.
Next I Die Cut my image with my Penny Black "Antique Frames" Dies Set. Then placed in my MISTI and stamped my sentiment with Versafine Black ink and heat EB with clear EB powder.
Mounted main image and popped up using fun foam onto a SU Whisper White card base,
that I had die cut with CUTplorations
Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Die.
Added Wink of Stella to flowers and Done!
I am itching to Garden...how about you?
You have until the 24th to play along with us at CAS Watercolour.

ReplyDeleteYou have done an outstanding job water coloring this, Nancy! Your shading is impeccable and love the wash you created around that basket! What patience you must have to allow each color to dry but your effort paid off on this gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteI love your garden basket, Nancy! You've done a wonderful job of watercoloring those tiny flowers and the clay pots! I know your gardens will be beautiful, my friend!
ReplyDeleteNancy love your card, this little scene is so beautiful and its perfectly highlighted with that die you used. I feel I just have to get that die it is calling my name. Your colouring as always is perfect.

I simply adore the Antique Frame and the Crazy Double Running Stitch edge to the card Nancy, and the beautifully coloured basket of flowers are perfect for this theme. A beautiful card. x

Beautiful watercolouring and image, Nancy. I can see why you hung onto that set. Love the cool look of the antique frame. Fantastic card and inspiration. You will be working in your garden in no time. 😉 xx
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and so elegant and such pretty colouring too. Yes itching to get in the garden but very cold in Scotland today, so it'll be awhile yet x
ReplyDeleteJust delightful! It's supposed to snow more here on Wednesday - Spring flowers are so needed....
ReplyDeleteI can tell this is right in your alley, Nancy! It's so pretty! You Zig watercoloring is excellent! I love the colors you used, the shading of the basket and pots, and the wash for the ground. The clear heat-embossing gives definition, and the deckled frame adds a natural feel. I hope to be able to say that watrecoloring is relaxing like you do sometime soon! :-) Hugs.. Hideko
