This card is for the Colour Challenge, to use - Terracotta Tile, So Saffron, Tranquil Tide & Berry Burst.
No dessert for me this week. I married the SU colours up with corresponding colours in my H2O's.
The card is also for the Teapot challenge, hosted by
Jen / jennifrann who said "My challenge today is to use pens or a pen image on your cards today."
This has been inspired by our teapotter recipient for this week, a pen pal of Sabrina's.
Last week I watched a vidio on YouTube that I found fascinating, found here;
It was easy but also like meditation, it was a wonderful hour ...not counting drying time.
I first did a rough map of where I wanted to put what colours on a piece of scrap paper and on another piece of scrap paper I did a rough sketch of where the doodles would go.
Next I cut my watercolour paper to size and lightly sprayed it with water, I had already added water with a pipette to my H2O's. I lifted some of each of the colours out of their pots with the larger mop brush onto my tile them put blobs of colour onto the wet watercolour paper adding and moving the colour around until I was happy. I set it aside to dry naturally.
Once dry I did the doodles with a #1 Copic Multi Liner then built on the doodles with # 3 & 5 liners.
I then added the Nuvo drops and left the card to dry overnight.
This morning I put the card together including creating a strip of watercolour wash for the inside of the card and put all the layers together. I really enjoyed doing this card and will be posting it to Sabrina's pen pal this afternoon.
Thanks for looking cheers Marg

Oh wow Marg, this is so artistic and beautiful. Your description has me wanting to get inky, but it's almost time to burn dinner. I will save the link until tomorrow -I already know I'm going to love it, just like Barbara will love this card.

Beautiful card and I love how you described the process. The colors are fabulous and the doodling adds a touch of fun and whimsy. Sure to delight Barbara when she sees this beauty. And, I did watch the video and it is soothing and meditative. I will have to give it a try. TFS
