Bobby is the host for our September challenge over at CAS MIX UP and this time our challenge involves Watercolouring!
The theme is Sunflower. There's some videos over on the CAS Mix Up blog to help - just remember - your make has to be CAS.
My card is made using an Indigo Blu stencil. The stencil is half sunflower and half mandala.
I outlined the petals with Mondeluz Aquarelle pencils then simply drew out the colour with a wet paintbrush. Once dry I went over the base of each petal again with a darker shade of orange.
A few spatters (as always!) and the sentiment is from Card-io.
Go look at the challenge blog and see what the rest of the DT have done this month - and I hope you'll join us!
