CAS Watercolour Garden Reminder!

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?

  18. I 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
