A New Challenge - Happy Little Stampers CAS #1 - Watercolour

Well, a new year has started - I don't have a clue where the old one went, it moved so fast - and I have found a brand new challenge!  It is over at Happy Little Stampers  and their first chalenge is a CAS challenge and it calls for some watercolour in it somewhere

http://happylittlestampers.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/hls-january-cas-challenge.html

I just had to give this brand new challenge a go (they have run a regular sketch challenge for some time), but this CAS challenge is new to them.

 This card was an organic affair, I started off with no idea as to what I was going to do (story of my life), so, I made my watercolour piece first, I just used some cheap watercolour paints, and let that dry.

 Next, I cut a strip out the height of the card and also cut two panels of textured white cardstock.  I then stuck the watercoloured strip straight down on to my card base and mounted the two textured panels on to some thin, foam tape, as I wanted a bit of height to emphasize the watercolour strip.

 I finished it off with a black banner greeting and three little enamel accent dots, by Ranger.

Here is the card






Thanks for taking the time to visit today and I appreciate all your comments and will reciprocate.

Have a crafty weekend.   Hazel x

    I love the CAS style card, the first card is stunning in its simplicity. I love these colors. Great composition. Jadnocześnie very jealous of stamps Persian Motifs. I have not had the disease for a long time, in Poland are not available, for the import from the USA collecting money : - (((
    Happy new year
