YAY MY TURN!! 😀😀
I am hosting this month over at CAS Mix Up and it's a WATERCOLOUR challenge this time round.
I have chosen a word prompt for my challenge and it gives lots of scope for you to get out your paints/inks/anything that has to be mixed with water and make us something beautiful and CAS!
The word is - FLIGHT -
(The Barn Owl is a stamp before anyone thinks I have suddenly become an amazing artist!😊)
I stamped Owlie onto a square piece of watercolour card.
The rest of the scene was watercoloured freehand - and I am rather proud of myself as it looks like a field with trees and a fence!
I have used ivory hammered textured card for my base and frames simply because it blended better with the image.
We have Joyce (Cards-by-the-Sea) as our wonderful Guest Designer this month and her lovely make is over on the Challenge Blog so go see - And whilst you're there check out the awesome cards the rest of the DT have done for my challenge!
I really hope you will try and join us this month and am looking forward to visiting you all to see how you have interpreted the word! x
Well done Viv, your field and trees look stunning and I love how you have coloured your owl. I was walking at dusk with a friend last autumn and we saw an owl set off on his flying circuit. It was an incredible sight and he wasn't at all bothered by us being there xx
ReplyDeleteWOW stunning card-love the beautiful owl and fabulous watercolour background you painted

You're so lucky to have owls where you live. Wish we did. This beautiful bird really epitomizes the "Flight" challenge. Gorgeous soft watercoloring of both the owl and the landscape. Impressive way you've layered the frame and matting. It really showcases the image.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful, Viv! I really love your choice for a challenge, and your owl is an amazing choice for your card. All I have is bugs and birds, but I do have a lot of those!
ReplyDeleteYour owl is so majestic and your meadow and tree line scene is awesome, Viv! Love the fencing. Great detail and fantastic challenge, my friend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Viv and love the scene you have created....like you way you've got the fencing showing on the layer behind your image....

ReplyDeleteAwesome scene, and SO impressed at the freehand! Wonderful card with your inspirational card, Viv, which definitely invokes freedom and soaring
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing artist Viv...x. How lucky to actually see a barn owl and how lucky for us to see this fabulous card x. What a striking scene x.
ReplyDeleteOMG Viv, your swooping owls is so beautiful especially with the trees behind. Also great framing ♥
ReplyDeleteOoh, this is a fabulous card and you’ve given me yet another challenge of having to make something CAS 😉. Your card is a stunner Viv x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Viv! Your lovely background garden scene is absolutely amazing. Good on you!! And your barn owl in flight is just the perfect image for your challenge. Thanks for hosting this month with a fabulous challenge! xx
ReplyDeleteWow Viv, what a wonderful barn owl in flight and your freehand watercoloured background scene is fabulous and such a great design with the double frame and your coloured piece just overlapping the edges of the inner frame a bit. A gorgeous card! x
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with your freehand watercolored trees, field and fence, Viv. Perfect for your owlie that is swooping down for a mouse, snake or other tasty meal:-) We have barn owls too and hear them every night, but rarely see them fly during morning or evening hours. Love your owl stamp..so real looking:-) TFS your card that should be framed and hosting this fun and versatile challenge, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy

ReplyDeleteSuch a fun theme for this month, and I can't wait to play along!
