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,
Supplies:
Stamps: S/U's Mediterranean Moments, Simon Says Tiny Words

ReplyDeleteIt is just beautiful, what a lovely scene and the softness of the painting just enhances the whole image. Happy New Year to you xx
ReplyDeleteI love those sunny, bright colors and the loose watercoloring certainly worked beautifully with this design! It's snowing here, so thoughts of the Mediterranean are welcome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty scene, Sue! I love how the colors blended!
ReplyDeleteYour scene was the perfect image to use with the Loose watercoloring technique, Susan. The colors blended beautifully. TFS my friend and Happy Creative New Year. Hugs...Nancy

ReplyDeleteLove your little Mediterranean scene and your loose watercolouring has given it a real artsy look. The weather here is not very nice at the moment so I'm thinking 'wish I was there!' xx
Never seen loose watercolor done on these types of images before and, boy, am I ever impressed. So well done and such very vibrant colors. Brilliant.
