It's time for a new challenge at CASology!
This week our Cue Card is:
This is also for Day 23 of Kathy Racoosin's 30 Day Coloring Challenge at The Daily Marker.com!
I watched Jennifer McGuire's video on Watercolour Lifting and I had to give it a try. It seems lately I have been reaching for watercolours before ink--lol The technique is really fun to do. I started by sponging four different Distress Inks onto a watercolour panel, then added water, then clear embossing my background and added more water.
Not sure if the colours are a bit too bold for CAS design but I was so pleased with how it turned out I let it be the main panel. Then just added a simple plain white sentiment so it didn't fight with the background.
Head over to CASology to see what the rest of the Design Team created this week. Hope to see you play along with us.
