Best Wishes

Hello~

I've got another card for a couple of challenges.  I kept the water colors out and added the jar of embossing paste to my supplies.  This card will be entered to CAS Stencil Challenge and Addicted to CAS Ombre.  And its a stretch, as mine is a mirror image of the sketch at Case this Sketch.
 



I began with a piece of taped down watercolor paper.  I wet the panel in a small elongated triangle. I added lots of watercolor at the bottom and drew it up the panel.  I used some water to take out some pigment at the top of the color, dried it and added another layer of color at the bottom.  Once that dried, I added some embossing paste through the SSS leaf stencil.  I topped that off with a silver embossed flower on vellum from Altenew.  A small sentiment in sliver on black balances the bright pink.


       

Thanks much for stopping by.

LOVE the bright pink watercolouring. So gorgeous with all that glorious white space. Your beautiful silver embossed vellum flower looks fantastic over top of the paste embossed leaves. The black sentiment banner is the perfect finish. Amazing design and gorgeous card, Cat! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Stencil!
