Botanical Notes

A quick post, before making dinner. I have made this card specifically for the CAS Watercolour Challenge.
The theme for the 2nd challenge is TEXT, so I pulled out one of my fave Penny Black stamps.


I had several attempts. My first go was with watercolour paper, but I prefer the more detailed image you get on the smooth card stock, so I had to be careful not use too much water. I used Zig CCRB markers, scribbling on a glass mat and then using a slightly wet brush, applied the colour to the image.



I had a very CAS card, but decided I had to add a bit (or a lot) of splatter.  I just realised I've used the same old colours as I've used for this image before, so it may look similar to an earlier card. Nevermind. I hope you like it.
