A Card for Two Challenges

  • by

It’s been awhile since I’ve entered a card in a challenge, although I do keep track of them in Feedly. Yesterday I saw two different challenges, and knew immediately what I wanted to do. (Rather unusual, I must say.) The first is a “word” challenge and the other is a sketch challenge.

Week 168 - YOU revised

For once, the card materialized just the way I envisioned it. It was a quick one, once the watercolor background dried.

You

I started with a piece of Tim Holtz watercolor paper and spread some Kertake watercolors around. I have several different kinds of watercolor, but these seem to work best for this technique. All the stamps are from a small Simon Says set, “You.” Usually I use the coordinating die, but this time the word in the different fonts worked perfectly for the sketch. The last part of the sentiment was white embossed on black paper, and it was all mounted on Orange Zest and then on a Summer Sunrise card. I decided I didn’t want the star covering part of the sentiment so I took a little liberty with the sketch.

    Don’t you love when cards cooperate like that and come out exactly as you envision them? 🙂 Your watercolouring is gorgeous and really lets your sentiment pop! Thanks for playing long with CASology this week!

    Karen, I adore this small set from Simon Says Stamp (I do indeed have it in my stash) and I LOVE what you have done with it here! Such happy colors, beautiful watercoloring, and fun layout! Thanks for joining in the fun at CASology this week!

    Your watercolouring is beautiful! I’ve been doing inky backgrounds lately..this is a new next step for me to aspire to. Really lovely.
