PE: Honorable mention at Sovushka Slavia!!
Hello! Back with another card!
I wanted to make a card with watercoloring for some time now – with watercoloring used not as the focal point, but something to accentuate whatever was supposed to be on the card. And I wasn’t looking for the proper watercoloring techniques – something different. Then, I came across this card from Chupa. Isn’t it gorgeous! I kinda picked the part where she has added the splotchy watercoloring – but I didn’t flick any colors, I kinda dabbed a little of the darker colors in with the lighter colors, when the paper was still wet. And this is what I got –
I then stamped the sentiment from Sentiment Sampler from Paper Smooches in Hero Arts Black ink. The background piece was something I had made some time ago for another card. After mounting the trimmed watercolor panel on this, I added a few star wood veneers as embellishment.
That’s it. Quick and easy 🙂

Cool !! Loved the contrasting pp.
Thanks!! But, its not pp – I swiped some Frayed Burlap distress ink over some brown packing paper and adhered it to the card base!! Cool, right! 😛
