CAS861 Blues
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: mfb

 This is for this week's CAS challenge to use water. I wanted to try watercoloring these hydrangeas. This time I used Versafine black. I will say I am on the fence about using the DOs on top of the ink. It did give it a chalky finish. I'll have to try straight inks next time. I was happy with the color gradient, tho.

I know this isn't super CAS, but, it is more CAS than my last two cards and I was inspired by the challenge.

Gorgeous. Love the colors. Beautiful hydrangea. All the details are fabulous. Love the script, the stenciling, the deckle edges. So pretty. Into my favs.

It's lovely (and I'd say it's CAS enough!). Beautiful subtle stencilling in the background and perfect hydrangea colours. I know what you mean about the Distress Oxides leaving a chalky finish.

The watercoloring on these hydrangeas is absolutely captivating—the gradient of blues and purples feels like a soft summer breeze. The stenciled background adds such a gentle elegance, and the deckle edges give it a beautifully organic touch. I love how the iridescent ribbon and twine bring in texture without overwhelming the design. This may lean toward layered, but it still holds that clean and serene vibe so well. Truly a lovely interpretation of the challenge.
