Less Is More: Watercolour

  • by

LIM #348

One more challenge before we head off for the long weekend. This week’s challenge at Less is More is Watercolour, and I’m always happy to pull out some paints.

3LeavesThanks

This card was inspired by this pin that I pinned to a board quite some time ago. I chose to use a piece of Simon Says Woodgrain cardstock, and used just three of the leaves, also a Simon Says stamp set, “Explore Nature.” It couldn’t be much more CAS, and it came together quickly once I’d embossed and die cut the leaves. It was so quick, I made a second to have on hand.

The sentiment, also by Simon Says (“Thanks”) was embossed in white on True Black (PTI) and trimmed out. I used the Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors which are so beautiful.

There is already lots of inspiration at the Less is More site. You can check it out here.

    Oh My! Simply delicious. Beautiful example of CAS watercolouring and a gentle and subtle background texture detail that fits seamlessly with the leafy images. Thanks so much for joining us at Less is More this week.

    Lovely Autumn card. I like the softer colours – I have been seeing a lot of examples of using water colours & then stamping over them … Wishing you a wonderful weekend away. This weekend is our Thanksgiving long weekend.

    Beautiful, so beautiful! I love this embossing folder you’ve used: it’s so hard to find embossing folders that are not too busy for a CAS card base and this one is perfect! Stunning soft watercoloring too and I love the simplicity of your design. Thanks for joining us at Less Is More!

    This is right up my street, just what I would buy if I didn’t make my own! Love that understated embossed background, the perfect subtle backdrop for those gorgeous leaves.
    Thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
