CAS Watercolour Challenge: Blue

Gorgeous CAS Cards by the DT, GD and in the Gallery:-)


My Blue Watercolored Vellum Card


I made this card at our 2019 Retreat!  Susan led the watercoloring on Vellum
Technique.  I sprinkled Ultramarine Brushos powder on my SU Vellum Cardstock, 
then spritzed liberally with water,  tipping the paper to move the ink.

I laid an acrylic block on the vellum to prevent some of the curling.
When dry I taped down to a die cut window frame.
Popped up with white craft foam and glued down the white die cut PB Iris.

I decided to leave off the sentiment and add later when I need the card.
I loved the simplicity and ease of making this card.
Thank you Susan for making me want to use vellum more often:-)

If you click on my Craft Retreat Photos Tab under my banner you will see 
many more vellum samples we made at our 2019 Retreat:-)

Enjoy,  you still have until the 24th to play along at CAS Watercolour Challenge! Hugs..

  1. Just BLUE-tiful! Seriously, Nancy... vellum is one of the most wonderful of all supplies - to think it can be water-colored in any color of the rainbow makes it even more so!

  4. Your Brusho on Vellum turned out beautifully, Nancy, and the perfect place to pop this white die cut iris! An amazing card, my friend! A winner in my book.
