For a Lady

The latest challenge at Try It On Tuesday starts today and our theme is 'FOR A LADY'.
Any project accepted as long as it fits our challenge theme so hope you can join us.

I've been painting recently so had a piece of watercolour card out on the desk and instead of putting it in the remains box I used it for this.

The left hand side background was smooshed and because it's watercolour card it absorbed it and made it more subtle than I actually intended but I think it works.
Blue, green and brown inks and for once the colours were where I wanted them - although I think maybe next time I might try lightly wetting the watercolour card first.

Stamps are a mix of Altenew and Rare Earth, used Walnut Stain ink and sprayed lightly before stamping.
Matted onto dark brown card.

Thanks for looking today - hope everything is well in your part of blogland! x

Such a lovely soft water coloured look. I love the brown against the soft blue and green. I think it works brilliantly. I am really enjoying this unexpected run of fine sunny days. I feel so much better xx

This looks gorgeous Viv and the smooshed background works brilliantly with the added watery brown stamped flower and leaves, and the coordinating brown stamped flourishy sentiment is just perfect. x

I only realised today that my comment didn't publish - we've been having Internet problems! I really love the colours you used both for your background and the beautiful flowers, Hugs, Chrisx x
