Blue Watercolouring....and Whoops!!



I recently ran a technique class all about watercolouring....we made 4 different cards using 4 different watercolouring techniques.....this technique is called Embossed Watercolouring.

I really love the blend of blues in this flower.....Night of Navy, Marina Mist and Pool Party.

The whole card....with Pear Pizzazz Leaves......



 
Now....you might look at this and think
#1.... Those leaves don't look like Pear Pizzazz .....
 
or
 
#2..... That card looks warped.... or have I had too much Champagne???
 
Hehe....
 
Well, we invented a new technique which really fit into the watercolour class well.....it's called spilling your tea onto the card and look what happens!!  Watercoloured leaves.  I actually really like the blend of brown and green

 
And based on this I'd like to enter this card, crunkles and all, into the Can You Case It? challenge for this week.  My inspiration comes from Theresa for the blue palette, and Pam for the wash effect, even if mine wasn't intentional!! 
 
 
Stamps: Work of Art, Remarkable You

Happy Stamping....Manda xx

  1. Manda, I can appreciate your just going with it, after spilling tea on your card... I've had accidents happen myself... and I know how hard it is to say okay... well warts and all here goes nothing, and I want to tell you I respect the honesty and love what you did on the card (before the tea treatment). Emboss resist with watercolor is hot and you did it wonderfully! Thanks for joining CYCI :) Eva
