Like many of the crafters I know, I'm taking part in the current Watercolour classes at Online Card Classes. It's not a strong medium for me - I find the free form nature of it too loose - I like control! However I have had a bit of a go.......
Firstly I used a quick and easy technique to enter this weeks's LIM challenge - I've not played in a while due to being busy with the store but I really miss it so will try harder to participate.
The challenge this week was a one-layer thank you. I used PTI stamps and distress inks and softened the stamping for a faux watercolour look. Not earth shattering, but not bad for a first attempt.
For my second attempt I used my newly arrived Clearly Besotted blossom stamps and the same technique with a little splattering over top to suggest the blossom drifting off in the wind.
I thought I'd enter this into the current watercolour challenge at KIS http://kis-challenge.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/keep-it-simple-39-watercolor.html
