Time for our CAS Mix Up Watercolour Challenge: Beach.
A fun Summer time Challenge hosted by Loll.
Be sure and keep your design Clean and Simple.
You have until the 24th to play along.
Be sure and check out the DT and our awesome Guest Designer,
Brenda's inspiring cards too.
My Beach CAS Card
I cut a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of Strathmore Mixed Media paper.
Then masked the borders using masking tape.
Next used Distress Oxide inks and make up brush to blend all my colors.
Starting with Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber and then Antique Linen.
Next blended in Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch then Shaded Lilac.
Then spritzed liberally with water using T.H. Distress Sprayer and blotted
excess water with paper towel. This gave the watercolor effect.
I dried with heat tool.
Placed card front in MISTI and stamped the sweet Inkadinkado "Down by the
Seaside" image, which included the sentiment using Archival Black ink.
Don't we all wish we could be down by the seaside on a hot Summer day?
I added the stamped birds from the same set.
To finish the image I used a Staedler Black Pen and ruler to add the frame and Done!
Thanks to my dear friend Darnell (aka Dolly) I had one beach stamp set that
she kindly gave me at our 2018 Retreat. Thanks again Dolly:-)
We would love to have you join us with your CAS watercolored beach cards.
Love and Hugs...
