So good to hear that there is a new Wednesday Challenge - all about playing around with water colour paints. I do love my water colour paints - and I have a few too - a big weakness with me - you can't have too many water colour paints can you?
For this card I used the acetate technique in the Video to create a soft background with reds, orange and yellow. All smooched around till I was happy with the outcome.
The image was stamped on the card and again on another water coloured panel from my stash. I fussy cut the flowers and bud and layered them over the now coloured image. Added some script using a Darkroom script stamp in a Old Paper Distress Ink. Finally mounted the card up onto a dark green frame and on a dusty orange card.
A card made for the First Water Colour Wednesday Challenge.
Hope you Enjoy.
