CAS Watercolour June Reminder

The month is flying by,  but you still have until the 24th to play
along with Bonnie's "Ocean" CAS Watercolour Challenge!


Here are my Diving Dolphins diving thru the waves card!


 Close up showing the Magicals Glimmer on the waves and Kuretake Gansai Tambi
Watercolors Glimmer on the Dolphins. So much prettier IRL!


While on our Retreat we tried using different mixed media products on white coated
tags that Loll found.  They were #8 size.  
I used green and blue Magicals using the Splash Technique.  Check out Loll's video:
Splash Watercolour Background Technique:2:25.

I had reconstituted Magicals powder with water.
I loved the results.  When I got home I kept looking at the tag and noticing
the splash background looked like waves.

So I trimmed off the tag end and then die cut with Ali-Express stitched rectangle die.
I used 2 Memory Box die cut "Diving Dolphins" that I watercolored with
Kuretake Gansai Tambi Shimmery Silver paint.
I loved the shimmer from the Magicals and Silver paint.

Next popped up the dolphins with SU mini dimensions.  Placed image layer in MISTI
and stamped my Penny Black "Happy Snippets" sentiments in SU Pacific Point ink.

Popped up image layer using fun foam onto my SU Whisper White Thick card base.
And..Done!

Be sure and check out all the amazing cards by our very talented DT and awesome Guest 
Designer,  Robyn (Waterlily Cards).

Happy Summertime, my friends.  Hugs

  8. If you had tried to get this to look like waves with white foam it would not have look so natural looking, and this is what is so exciting about the splash technique as it is different every time. I love the colours and the beautiful silver painted dolphins Nancy. Perfect! x
