Good Monday to you all! Today we'll try faux watercolor. I'm not sure how I came across this video but it looked intriguing. The artist uses scenic stamps but I think you could use most anything. I created two cards, which will be uploaded shortly, both nature oriented but I really think you could use most any image. I did a few more layers of color than the video suggests. It was challenging to decide when I should stop adding layers. Give it a go!

This is a very cool technique! I loved how the inks flowed on the wet page, but not so much that you lost the image! Very definitely going to try this again!
I mixed this with the CAS Fall challenge this week!
