Watercolor-hello

Hey y'all! Happy Wednesday, hope all is well?!...Today, I'm sharing a card I made for the current Lawnscaping challenge! Yep. You read that right! I haven't played with the Lawnscaping challenges in a looong time...So, it was time to change that! ;)


Here's what I came up with!


Really love these colors! So fun! And I decided to play with some watercolors! After seeing Virginia's technique used, I knew I needed to play around more (boy, she sure knows how to inspire one!). Now, she used alcohol inks, but it got me thinking 'why not do it with watercolors'?...So, I essentially did the same thing, though used different brush sizes and just went off of where I want to place things. All in all, I really love the look! And granted my card is nowhere near as beautiful as what Virginia's is, I still do love it! ;) What do you think?!...

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

    Oh yes, so very on-trend!! Love the outside-the-lines-messy look on a super CAS card. What a great contrast, Shelly!
