When I created my card for CASology this week I created two. The first one using subtle ink sponging and on the second card I watercoloured the background. The watercolour pooled up a bit too much at the top of the card base and even though I used a paper towel to blot it, I wasn`t as happy with it once dried as the first card. I wanted to share both cards with you so that you could see the difference between sponging and watercolouring on the exact same design.
Sponging--
I hope you come over to CSAology this week and show us your version of OPEN.
I love both versions! So very pretty and those snow flakes are just striking!
ReplyDeleteI think the watercolor looks great!! Both are beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteI love this beautiful card, Tracey!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, I like both, maybe even a tad more on the watercolor! They are both precious.
ReplyDeleteSoooooooooo beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Tracey, love the background!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove them both! Great backgrounds with both techniques.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see them side by side, Tracey ... and amazing to see how using two distinct techniques to add the colour creates such a different feel to each one! They're both gorgeous ... wouldn't want to choose a favourite! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI actually like your watercolored one a bit better Tracey! So pretty! I even think the pooling up a the top adds visual interest! ;)
ReplyDeleteBoth versions are so pretty~gorgeous snowflakes!
ReplyDeleteVery cool to see both designs together, and the water coloring is just as pretty as the sponging.
ReplyDeleteI love them both but this one has a bit of a blustery look to it that I just love.
ReplyDeletehey sweeties of ladies, these are both fabulous!
ReplyDeletesuper pretty, love that die!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Tracey! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWow so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOoooo I definitely love the way the watercoloring looks. The sponging is pretty, too, but the watercolor takes it to the next level of striking! Beautiful, Tracey!
ReplyDeleteI actually like the watercolored version - that white around the edges is a great design element!
ReplyDeleteFabulous look, either way, with the delicate look of the cut-out snowflakes!
