The Paper Players Challenge #248, TGIF Challenge #6 & Pretty Pink Posh Watercolour Challenge

Hey Everyone

The card I created today is different than I normally make. It has a bit of watercolouring (something I don’t do very often) and not many layers (something I do less often than watercolouring!).

I’m entering my card into three challenges – The Paper Players Masculine Themed Challenge, TGIF Watercolouring Challenge and Pretty Pink Posh’s Watercolour Blog Hop.

To create my card I lightly watercoloured my background with Night of Navy & Pear Pizzazz Ink. I then stamped the boat image from Stampin’ Up!s Moon Lake and coloured the tree with my blender pen and boat with Blendabilities. Because the lack of layers was doing my head in I actually coloured a second boat, fussy cut it out and raised it up with dimensionals – you can’t really tell this by my photo though. Here’s my CAS card:

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Narelle

I have tried so many times to get that soft swoosh of sky behind my scenes and cannot do it – I LOVE yours. It’s just right and looks fabulous angled through your scene.

The opening paragraph of this grabbed my attention and I just had to keep scrolling to see this rare layer-less creation! Of course, I was not disappointed to see that you couldn’t resist sneaking in one or two!! And I’ve got to tell you that I’m so impressed with this beautiful scene that you’ve created. Your coloring is fab and although I can’t tell from the pic that the boat is raised up on dimensionals I am not at all surprised that it is! Fantastic!
