Celebrate!

I have a couple of simple watercoloured cards to share today that I made to send out to the winners of my candy with their prizes. I started by painting Distress Inks on to dampened watercolour paper (Broken China, Salty Ocean & Cracked Pistachio for the blue one, and Dusty Concord, Wilted Violet & Seedless Preserves for the purple one)...I laid down a few layers of colour, allowing each one to dry before adding the next, then added some splatters over the top. I then simply added a die cut word (cut using a Clearly Besotted die), and some sequins, then mounted the panels on to my card blanks using 3D foam.


Challenges for these cards:

    The postman has just delivered one with my prize candy. (I won't say which one in case Regina hasn't received hers yet. ) It is even more beautiful IRL - just gorgeous! Thanks again for all the lovely goodies. I know I'll have lots of fun playing with them. x
