Happy Friday, again, peeps! Wow, two posts in one day! It's a busy weekend for sure! I am back with my second "installment" of the CAS Watercolour series for June, which is "summer"!
I went around and around, thinking of another beachy-themed card, because that's what summer means to me! My family members have spent hundreds of hours at the Delaware shore over the last 60-some years, and one of my earliest memories as a child was collecting big clam shells, taking them back to the house my grandmother rented for a week, and painting them with a watercolor set she gave me! I rarely see those big shells anymore when we go to the beach, so I decided to "paint" some myself!
I took some watercolor paper and splashed on some Bermuda Bay and Soft Sky inks and once it was dry, stamped this old, old seashell image from Lizzie Anne in Encore Gold ink and heat-embossed it with Gold Glory embossing powder:
I mounted it on a circle of gold foil; the leftover piece of watercolor paper I diecut with some seashell dies from Impression Obsession:
So please come play with us and share you summer watercoloring with us! You can find all the details at CAS Watercolour! Be blessed and enjoy your day!
