September CAS Mix Up Challenge

Hi everyone.  This month at CAS Mix Up September Challenge is a Watercolour Challenge and we are asking for Sunflowers. :)  I used the no line watercolouring technique with diluted distress reinkers.


I started by stamping my image (Radiant from Penny Black) onto cold press w/c paper using Brushed Corduroy Distress ink (light touch).  I used my diluted distress inks to paint the image, using the faintly stamped outline as a guide. It worked great.  

When the image was dry, I added some splatters in dark brown.  I finished the card by stamping a sentimnt (Spring Sentiments - Stampendous) in Ground Espresso DOX ink.

Sending this card to the following challenges:

    WOW!!! Unique! Your watercolor is perfect and truly stunning. I love how you added wet brown paint to the center of the sunflower, drawing delicate brown lines into the petals. I love this card; it's so unique!
    with love,

    Fab artsy watercoloured sunflower Loll. At long last my perennial sunflowers are perking up after the rain we've had the last week! :)

    That technique makes your sunflower look hand painted, Loll, which I'm sure you could do too.

    Your no-line watercolouring is brilliant Loll, and I love the loose way you have painted it with, and the brown spatters and sentiment finish it beautifully. x
