There are more card challenges on the internet than you can count, and I keep coming up with new ones that I want to try. Recently, I found a series of challenges by Happy Little Stampers. One thing I like about all their challenges is they run for a month. Their watercolor challenge for January is "Anything Goes." The CAS Mix-Up Challenge is for "Splatters" combined with one other mixed media element, in this case, watercolor.
I actually have two cards to share. A weekend or so ago, I sat down with a pile of already colored, die cut, and stamped elements to create a group of Thinking of You cards which I badly needed. Both of the focal images for these cards were already stamped, splattered, and watercolored. I just needed to add sentiments and assemble the cards.
The flowers are from the Waffle Flower "Bouquet Builder" set, and watercolored with Zig Clean Color Markers
After watercoloring the flowers, I added some black, purple, and green splatters. The sentiment is an old favorite from Papertrey Ink, "Penned Elegance." I added the panel to a Plum Pudding card base.
The next card features a botanical from the same Waffle Flower set.
This was watercolored with Altenew's 36 pan watercolor set, and highlighted with some Polychromos colored pencils.
The sentiment was die cut and assembled by a friend who gave me an envelope with a variety of the die cut sentiments from Papertrey Ink's "Frame It Out: Wishes." I love the modern font. The card base for this card is Gina K's Asparagus cardstock which has become a favorite.
I'll be linking these up with:
