CAS Watercolour Love

More watercolouring! This time I stamped the Kanban rose in pink and green then used a water brush and inks to add shading to the Rose. When I'd finished I added a very dilute blue and green to the background.

I had actually made this card prior to me previous post, but when I saw this month's challenge at CAS Watercolour  I added the sentiment so that it fits in with the theme.

CAS Watercolour - Snowflake

I have been meaning to join in with the challenge at CAS Watercolor  for ages and was determined to make a card for it this month. After all it didn't look difficult  - watercolour and a snowflake.

How wrong was I! I started off doing an emboss resist piece but the embossing didn't work very well on watercolour paper, so it went in the bin. Then I made a Brusho background which was quite nice but I wasn't sure where to go with it. A few days later I remembered this snowflake die which hadn't been used and thought I could put the Brusho background behind it, but a) it was too pale, and b) it was too narrow. So back to the drawing board and I found a piece of vellum, wet it and sprinkled it with brushos, now this looked much better behind the snowflake. I rather like the way the light comes through but I think it will have to have some sort of insert to hide the inside before I can use it next Christmas.
