Hello there crafty friends I'm here with the latest challenge details for
AAA Cards
For the next 2 weeks our theme is 'Watercolour' so go with whatever technique
you like here as long as it's of a watercolour variety!
I've got 2 cards for you this time and both use water colour as a
background statement rather than watercolouring an image
This card was inspired by a Make it Monday You Tube video
HERE
using Zig Clear Brush pens and water to create a striped background.
Once the water colours dried I added a heat embossed sentiment
from Mama Elephant: Make a Wish and some sequins from Doodlebug
I've gone super grungy and messy today using my Gansai Tambi watercolours
which contain such rich pigment and even have shine when dried.
Having merged the colours along the top of my panel I allowed them to dribble down
the watercolour card with a little assistance to keep them 'neatish'! The sentiment is from
Clearly Besotted: Say it in Style and I've added the watercolour panel on fun foam
for added dimension with a few sequins from Doodlebug for some bling.
Here's a little photo inspiration for you
and there's plenty more superb designs with watercolour from
my fellow teamies over on the AAA Cards blog HERE
... plus - drum roll please as we are joined by a super talented guest designer
for this challenge: Tracey McNeely of In My Creative Opinion
I'm sure you'll all have come across Tracey in blogland and please
pop across to her blog to leave her some love.

new ideas from you talented folks. Have fun and catch up again soon.
