This post shows all 4 cards I made using today's water color challenge.
For today's Water Color challenge - Abstract Plus Silhouettes. Angie shared a video here byCreationsCeeCee on creating backgrounds on water colorpaper with wide wet water color brush strokes.
I used her technique on a large sheet of watercolor paper, masking it off into 4 panels so I could make 4 cards. I used various brushes to try and create different looking strokes.
I used a fan brush with the plum paint which left a more linear design with that color.
First card on left: Drew stems - stamped flowers
2nd card from left - as per the challenge video instructions - I hand drew stems and leaves
3rd card from left - Stamped an outline image from PTI.
4th card from left - stamped silhouette trees and sentiment from Technique Junkies. (sentiment says "There is no sound on Earth that compares to THE CREAKING OF TREES"
A fun challenge - and 4 cards made!
I made 3 other cards - all 4 are shown in my post next to this one in my gallery. I used stamps on two of them, and a combination of drawing and stamps on the 4th one.

Julia, I just love them all. They turned out beautifully. I can't wait to try this and for-see a big stack of these coming off my table. I am so energized by these watercolor challenges.

Ok, I need to go check out the Creaking of Trees stamp! My husband would LOVE this. That is exactly how he feels about the woods! Your set of cards is amazing!
