CAS Mix Up Challenge - January 2022 - Loose Watercolour - Dog Roses

Hello Everyone,

Today's card is for the CAS Mix Up Loose Watercolouring challenge that I made following Jennifer McGuire's Video.  I coloured the stamp with Distress Inks and stamped a couple of times then I Heat embossed with the Silver Pearl embossing powder.  I then coloured with the Markers and an Aqua Painter.  I finished off with some splatters, pearls and the sentiment.  The Happy was coloured with the Bundled Sage Distress Ink and the Birthday was Heat embossed with the Silver Pearl on Black card.

Thanks for visiting today, wonderful to see you here.

Hugs,

CAS Mix Up Challenge Reminder - January 2022 - Loose Watercolouring - Nasturtium's

Hello Friends,

It's time for a reminder to let you know that you have until the 24th January to join us for this month's Loose Watercolour Technique.

I went with Jennifer McGuire's technique's and started by using my Misti stamping the Nasturtium stamp with Stazon Black, left the stamp in place and cleaned it.  Then I coloured direct onto the stamp with Distress Ink Markers, spritzed the watercolour card and the stamp and then stamped the image.  I managed to get a little wash of colour from the stamping but the excess water muddied a little so I moped up the extra water, the colour wash was very light.  I then used my Aqua Painter applying watered down ink onto the stamped image.  The Happy die cut was coloured with Mowed Lawn distress ink onto white card and then stacked three times for some dimension.  The Birthday sentiment was White Embossed onto Black card, then I added some Sequins and stamped and coloured a smaller version of the front image to the inside of my card.

Thanks for your visit today, I appreciate you stopping by.

Hugs,

CAS Mix Up Challenge - January 2022 - Loose Watercolouring - Mediterranean Moment

Happy New Year!

It's the beginning of a new month and 2022 and that means we have a new challenge at CAS Mix Up.  Jenny is our host for January's Loose Watercolouring Challenge and Karen (Random Reflections) is our Guest Designer.  There are Video's and the Design Teams cards on the Main Blog if you need some inspiration.

I tried Stacey Hutchinson's Loose Watercolour Technique for this card, which turned out better than I thought it would after a few failures with some of the other attempts I tried.  I did find it was better not to over spray with water on the mat before you stamp so you still get the look even if the colour hasn't run much on the card.  I found that once you started painting the colour blended together with much less effort.  

Lovely to see you here,

Hugs,
