WATERCOLOUR BACKGROUND - Cynthia Stevenson, Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Today’s card features a little watercolouring to accent some pretty flowers from the Art Gallery Bundle.

I used a piece of the Fluid 100 Watercolour paper(149612) and splashed some drops of Balmy Blue ink refill over it. TIP: Just use the middle sized Water Painter and tap it over your hand to add the drops of colour. I think that it’s a nice contrast to that really bright mat of designer paper.

I am following along with the sketch challenge from The Paper Players for this and am pretty happy with the way it all turned out.

I like the mix of the thicker “paint” look on the background DSP with your pretty splatters of Seaside Spray. Great base layers for those gorgeous flowers! Thanks for sharing at The Paper Players!

Bold and beautiful, Cynthia! These flowers are gorgeous. I love the colors you selected. The splatters add so much to the background. What a great idea to add them! Thank you for playing in my sketch challenge at The Paper Players this week!
