Watercolouring

I'm joining in with the CASMix Up card challenge blog - a new one I've just found.  Their theme is Loose Watercolouring and I fancied getting the Tim Holtz Distress Inks out and having a play.  My first card uses the inks added with a water brush - splodged onto the Tim Holtz mat - the stamp is one from Anita Jeram.

The second cards uses those same inks but these time they had been spritzed with water so as not to waste them and the card was swooshed into the ink.  I hope you like my swoosh word lol!  I've used another of the Anita Jeram stamps here - they really lend themselves to watercolours.



I'm adding these into the following challenges:

Shopping our Stash - Something beginning with S - for Stamps 
We love stamping - anything stamped

Two lovely cards. Like the first one very much but your 'smooshed' second card is just as effective. Not heard of This stamp designer before so off to investigate. Hugs Mrs A.

Two fun cards, Fiona. So pleased you joined us at CAS Mix Up with your 1st loosely watercolored cat card. Your 2nd card with the smooshed background with your leftover inks and sweet little critters was so much fun too. TFS Hugs..Nancy
