Made a card for this month's challenge at CAS Watercolour. The theme is 'Garden'.
I don't use digital images very often now but I remembered I had this one which was a freebie many moons ago - I think the company was Just Inklined - but am not sure.
It was quite a nice image to colour. I printed it out on watercolour card then left it overnight.
All coloured with Distress Inks.
I highlighted the wall with Old Paper DI creating a wash then going over the cracks again to give it more depth.
Am quite pleased with my colouring on this - I am usually guilty of being too heavy handed and using too much ink but this looks fine (to me!)

This is so pretty Viv ! love the shabby choc look to it also. Yes I think you did a great job of colouring it too!Yes we have snow forecast here as well...boo hoo, we hope to go to our son's and swimming nearby but who knows lol ;) hugs Viv xx
Yes, your card definitely qualifies for the CAS Watercolour "Garden" theme! I love it! Great image of a garden wall and those unusual hanging containers! Beautiful watercolouring too. Thanks so much for joining us at CAS Watercolour.
And what a beautiful garden wall it is Viv!! Love the soft colours which adds to the vintage look along with the cracked wall and peek of brick from behind. The Old Paper gives a love soft wash for the background. I have this colour but have NEVER used it ... it's been sitting for probably five years now. I wonder if the ink has all dried. :) Anyways, you have inspired me to give some of my neglected colours a try. I do love your garden wall ... thanks for sharing it with us at CAS Watercolour!
Hopefully the snow is not a lot, but enough that you can craft in your PJs without any guilt! :) xx
Really lovely card Viv, great use of the water colours and super images.

Hi Viv
Stunning card... love the images...
Hugs Sylvie xx
I adore your colouring of this very pretty digital image Viv, and I think it is perfect for the theme over at CAS Watercolour. x
This is really pretty, I love the feel of it but I do like all things to do with gardens. Are we all hoping for snow tomorrow so we are trapped inside stamping?
It’s a beautifully colored image and I like how you subtly colored the wall too. With an image like this, left on its own, there’s no room for error, so I’d be a bit afraid of taking on this challenge, but you did such s great job and it’s a isimple and stunning design.
Staying in today and crafting as it is so very cold in Scotland x What a beautiful vintage looking card. So very pretty and gorgeous colouring x
Your colouring of this is just fantastic x
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us at The Sparkles Monthly Challenge.
What a great image and your colouring of it is great. I try to be heavy handed but can't! I do envy those people who get rich deep colours
Congratulations on being one of the outstanding designs Viv over at CAS Watercolour with your beautiful card! x
