Today is the start of our new challenge after our December break over at CAS Mix Up. Jenny has given us the task of 'Loose Watercolouring'.
I enjoyed doing this as it was nice to just be able to watch the colours blend together without any effort on my part - apart from putting the paint on the brush.
Stamped the flowers onto watercolour card and just left to dry overnight. Wet the image then added the colour - simple and looks quite artsy (well I think so anyway!)
It's unlikely to win any accolades from art critics but I'm quite pleased with it!
Quick and easy, added a simple sentiment and matted onto coloured cardstock - job done.
Visitors to my blog will know that the latter part of 2021 was quite a stressful time for me on top of Covid, let's hope 2022 is a better year for us all.
Thanks for looking today, appreciate it! x

Wonderful artsy watercolored flowers, Viv. Loved your color choices, splatters and sentiment with the narrow framing that coordinates with your flower colors.

Such sweet flowers to brighten my day. Thank you. The loose watercoloring technique looks like it was made for this image. The spatter seems to make them move as if in the wind.

I think it's really beautiful. Love the colour combination and wish I could do something half as good. x
This is lovely watercoloring. The stamp is so pretty and the splatters look great. I hope you get the moving sorted soon. That is so stressful and the not knowing when would be so hard. I'm back to staying home until this new outbreak has cooled down. I'm glad we were able to have Christmas with the family but now I'm done for a while. Be safe and be well.
Happy New Year Viv! Your card design is very Artsy and I have been admiring it since you posted in early December. The image is the perfect stamp for the technique and beautifully done.
