If you follow my blog, you know I have a fear of watercolor. Well...anything messy really. I realized that part of the problem isn't really just fear....its impatience. Waiting on stuff to dry? Not a fan. SO, I pulled out my Zig pens and got messy and waited for stuff to dry. And it was fun. This is what happened....
I used MFT's Party Patterns set to create these circles. I stamped them on watercolor paper and then added color to each. Then let it sit for....actually I did it last Wednesday and then put the card together this morning. hehe! I thought if I could paint something up and forget about it then it wouldn't be so bad. So I went to the pool, read part of To Kill a Mockingbird, went to KC Royals game, did some laundry.... I got to my desk this morning and it was all ready for me to create!
I used a circle punch to punch out the images and then stacked them up to create a fun bubble look. I added in the sentiment die and then some tiny black liquid enamel dots for an extra fun little detail.
I used this CAS(E) this sketch for inspiration and was so happy to play along with a challenge for the first time in FOREVER.
So I learned that I can paint it up and walk away and it will all be ok! I may have to try more of this messy watercolor stuff again soon. :) Hope you are all doing well. Have a great day and thanks for stopping in!

your card is wonderful Laurie - i find the zig brushes dry really quickly - i don't like to wait either! but going to a royals game is a good thing to do while waiting:-) - i'm a royals fan too!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card!! I know what you mean by fearing getting "messy." I have all sorts of watercolor and never use it for this reason. I hate taking the time for things to dry and then having to clea it all up.
ReplyDeleteI love the fun circles that you created. The colors you used are lovely.
Hooray for getting your watercolor on, girl!!! This is awesome! I just recently bought some watercolor pens, but haven't tried them out yet. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I have a hard time with messy also. Ha ha!!
ReplyDeleteOh Laurie I am in love with this soft and lovely pastel watercolors!
