I'm still in a bit of a watercolouring phase - do you get like that with your crafting? I fancied having a go at the As You See It Challenge and could just see a water colour background for their sketch.
I used four Tim Holtz Distress Colours - Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers and Mustard Seed. I don't use a lot of yellow really in my crafting as I'm more about the earthy grungy tones but I thought these colours inspired by Kristine Werner would give me the colour background I wanted.
I smooshed them on to the Tim Holtz mat and spritzed with water until I got the effect I wanted.
I added a very thin strip of old Stampin Up DSP tapering it off to the outer edge. I used Stampin Up Botanical Prints stamp for the flower and coloured in just the flower with the Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves. I gently edged the circle with the Peacock Feathers. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz. It is going to be my phrase for 2022. I have a new home back home in my beloved Wales and life has turned a corner for my hubby and I and we are loving every minute of it.
I used Tim Holtz watercolour paper to stand up to all the water. I added some drops of Nuovo Crystal Drops in Wedgewood Blue.
