CAS Mix Up Watercolour Wash Hello

This months CAS Mix Up Watercolour Wash has me playing with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Paints!


I used Stamping + Flat Watercolour Wash + Die Cuts, Heat Embossing and Fussy Cutting!


I started by using Versamark to stamp my STAMPlorations "Helenium-Large" flower image onto Arches Hot Press paper, then heat embossed with SU Black EB powder.  Watercoloured my flower with Zig markers and fussy cut with  paper snips.

Next I die cut a background layer of the hot press paper with CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Die, then I used a flat paint brush to liberally brush on water.  Next I used the Flat Watercolour Wash technique by Bob Davies (5:14) to add my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour paints.  I layered the yellow and then the green paints until I was happy with the saturation.  Let dry.

Placed my background into my MISTI and stamped my sentiment using Archival Black Ink.

I then popped up my fussy cut flower with foam tape.  Next added fun foam to my main image to pop up onto SU Whisper White stitched card front,  which I attached to SU Thick Whisper White card base.  Done and very happy with the results!

Hope you get to play along with our CAS Mix Up Challenge too.  You have until the 24th to play. Be sure and check out the beautiful samples by our DT and GD, Cathy R. (Cathys Card Spot) and helpful videos.  Happy watercolouring my friends.   Hugs
