Hi All
Time for a new challenge at AAA Cards.
Our challenge is:
Masking
Her is my card:
This card I made for a very dear friend who I knew needed to be reminded to believe in her dreams and remember that whatever she did she would shine!
I made it a while ago but wasn't that happy with it but am hoping the thought behind it helps her over look this!
I also wanted to use my watercolouring masking paste that hasn't been used for a while plus some actual water colour paints (not brushos!). I used paste to mask off a rough area. I then watered this area and added a mix of water colour paints. Left this to dry over night and then heat embossed the sentiment. You can't see from the photo but each letter of the sentiment is covered in WOS....to make it shine!

I like the loose stripe a lot; looks like you had fun making it! Maybe too far from your style...you have to try and see what you like ...and sometimes it is a great new way to woork... Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteI don't know what about it you don't like. It's grungy in a feminine and soft kind of way, I find it beautiful and unique.
ReplyDeleteSo thoroughly encouraging, Sandie ... I love how the masked flow of watercolour adds that certain je ne sais quoi to the wonderful sentiment! Your friend will be delighted with it! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity yet strikingly beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandie! I am late in commenting this time around, but wanted to stop in to tell you how much I love your card. I love the mix of colors in the watercolored area. It came out beautifully. The sentiment is wonderful. I am sure your friend was encouraged and uplifted by this heartfelt beauty!
