Each month I'm always wanting to play along with the
CAS Watercolour Card challenge and I always seem to leave it till the last minute - determined not to miss out today with only a few hours till close. So I've made a '
summer' card - I chose to use colours in yellow and blues to represent the sand and the beach - a favourite place to spend our summer vacations as a youngster.... now it's not a problem we live in the tropics on the coast. I swiped my Distress Ink pads on my plastic mat and spritzed with water then smooched my panel in the ink... of course one never knows how the water and paint will react with the card but I was really happy with the blotchy effect. I flicked a few drops of glitzy orange ink across the card too ... then stamped on my palm tree silhouette. I decided to die cut a bicycle and make up a beach sign post to finish the card. I am also posting to
Rubber Dance challenge - Theme is Summer Holidays,
Happy Little Stampers CAS June challenge - Smoosh,
Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies June challenge, and
Simon Says Monday challenge - Vacation and
Victorine Originals challenge #9- photo inspiration. Thanks for taking a peek
This is a wonderful and summery card, Robyn. There is nothing like a bicycle trip to the beach on a hot summer day.
