Thank you so much Kia, Linda, Angie and Brenda for starting this fabulous weekly challenge. About the only thing I do with my water colours is pat the box (it's a gorgeous big set of Gansi Tambi).
I am so excited to learn about water colouring from all of you wonderful, talented ladies.
You can tell I am taking this new adventure seriously, I used genuine (not my el cheapo) watercolour paper. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to use the rough side or the smooth side - so I did both - the rough side look best, although perhaps a bit dark.
The smooshing is with acetate and distress inks and the gold is Gansi Tambi water colours. I had fun with this and can't wait to see what comes next.
Thank you for looking.
Edit: I purposely over heated the modelling paste so it would bubble up a bit and resemble the texture of the cardstock.
EDIT: I just read Marg's comment plus I have had a few PM's about the centre of the flower. It is just modelling paste (applied thickly), then over heated with the hot gun until the paste bubbles up.

Oh, Susie, you always make me smile! I am so excited you joined us for the very first WCW Challenge! You made me giggle at "patting the box of watercolors"! Your card is stunning. I mean, wow! So very beautiful. The colors are amazing. I love the flow of colors and the gold splatters are amazing! Wonderful card.

Another lovely water colour card. Got a good giggle about the patting of the paints but also good to see you using them too. They are a lot of messy fun. The gold splashes look so good against the darker shades in the background. Going to have to try that. I know I will be cleaning up gold paint splatters in the most unusual places in the dining room table for days to come.
