CASology Week 209: WATERCOLOR

Welcome to Week 209 at CASology!




I was excited to see WATERCOLOR as the cue word this week. I do like to use a heavy weight watercolor paper for both the panel and card base when I use watercolor paints, Distress Inks, re-inkers or Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to make a card.




An MFT Thanks die is cut from masking paper and adhered to the center of a watercolor paper panel and yellow and red Zig Clean Color markers brushed randomly over the word. An aqua brush adds water causing the colors to blend and spread further. Once the panel was dry, the die cut word was carefully lifted leaving an uncolored space in the middle of the watercoloring. The secret to clean masking is making sure the mask is fully adhered and using a minimum amount of water around the edges.

We are looking forward to seeing how WATERCOLOR inspires you -  just remember to keep it Clean & Simple! You have until Monday at noon (CMT) to link your card to the CASology blog. 

Thanks for stopping by,
