I know I'm always saying my week was busy but last week took the cake. From Wednesday afternoon to the following Tuesday I took 5 shuttles, 4 flights, and drove two days from Colorado to Kentucky. Long story - loooong week! It was an adventure for sure and just when I was congratulating myself for doing all that and not catching anything flying, the day after I got home I got sick. BLEH. Not every bit of the week was all fun & games but it was helping family and that was such a worthwhile endeavor.
At least I was able to pull off my card for Tuesday Morning Sketch #466. I actually didn't expect my first try to work so I stamped 3 pieces with the little houses, but I'm actually happy with all three so first off I have my first one. Also, I just had to show you last weeks card. All I had to do to post it in time was put it all together and take a pic. I was cutting it close to when the shuttle was picking me up and just when I was going to head in to my craft room my husband came home early to see me before I left on my adventures.
I have no idea what the "real" way people do this technique is but I got the idea from a painting in an ad at Dick Blick online. I "painted" water along the skyline so that the color would stay where I wanted and then I dropped in enough color until it dripped. It was quite fun. I'm impatient though so I had to do a little wiping off an area that got muddy and dropping in more pure color.
I hope you like it - I'm so glad to be back and that you stopped by.
And my card from last week:
Your cards are very pretty. That watercolor technique is lovely and really pops as background for your image. Your little card for last week was adorable. Sorry you had such a busy/hectic time, and do hope you are feeling better now. Glad to have you back this week.
ReplyDeleteThe water colored sky looks great on all of your cards, and I really like the little elephant with balloons on last week's card too! Welcome home from your hectic travels - now it's time to just breathe!
ReplyDeleteWow! Crazy week. I hope you're feeling better. The cards are fantastic! I love the watercolor behind your buildings. So nice.
