CAS Watercolour Reminder

Hosted by Loll


Here is my Rainbow card filled with Hugs!


I had so much fun watercoloring my Distress Ink Rainbow colors.
 Added ink to small rectangular acrylic block and spritzed with water using TH Spritzer, 
then stamped onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper.

I used these Distress Inks: Candied Apple, Spice Marmalade, Wild Honey, 
Lucky Clover, Salty Ocean, and Wilted Violet.  

I repeated my acrylic block stamping twice more for a real vibrant effect.
Drying between layers.
Next I die cut my piece with my MB Stitched Rectangle Die.

To add more dimension and pull the colors together,  I drew the circles
with my Staedler Pen using my Kaisercraft "Bubbly Stencil"!

Then added my CUTplorations "Hugs" word die that I cut 
from a scrap in my Distress Ink Smooshing Stash,
popping it up on a black die cut Hugs for more dimension and a shadow effect.

I then attached my main image with fun foam to my SU Whisper White card base.
And Done!  Loved the vibrant rainbow colors.

You have until the 24th to play along at CAS Watercolour. Be sure and check out

Happy Rainbow creating my friends.  Hugs..

  1. Love the vibrant rainbow of Distress inks! Good idea to restamp them more than once to get that intensity of colour. The circles are a great motif for a card that says "hugs'.

  14. Pretty rainbow color stripes, Nancy! I didn't get a chance to use my Distress Crayons for stamping this time, but your card inspires me to try it. The black-outlined circles really pull the rainbow colors together as you intended. Love the shadow effect of the die-cut sentiment too.
    Great job, my friend!
