Yes, me again…lots of posting due to the online card class – Clean and Simple Card making 3.

Today I tried some creative colouring techniques. I took Jennifer’s Rsaza water-colouring idea and modified it by creating a background rather than an image. Yep, all artsy and free form from me today. It started out being a one layer card, but I had to trim it in the end, so its almost a one layer card 🙂

WOW! I was just sitting down to try out this technique…. I may just have to go back to the drawing board, your card is incredible and so much fun Marion. Did you see the faux watercolouring? It’s another must try for sure, I think you hubby will have to stay away a little longer to give you more crafty time lol

Beautiful water colour “dots” – great adaptation of Jennifer R’s technique!

I always seem to add my panel to a base card, I think I feel more secure working on a panel, as opposed to the actual card (I mess up too much – LOL).
