CAS MIX UP Jan '22

 Welcome to a New Year of CAS Mix Up Challenges! I'm hosting this month. It's a watercolour challenge and I chose 'LOOSE WATERCOLOUR' as the theme. 

What I mean by 'LOOSE' is to not worry about being perfect and to allow yourself to go outside the lines! There are links to videos on the CAS Mix Up blog to inspire you.

I stamped the bird on watercolour paper and then slapped on some water adding pigment randomly and allowing the paint to drip for 'movement'.  Then I added some splatter and splatter. 

The bird stamp is designed by Finnabair for Prima and the sentiment is from Tim Holtz.


We have Karen (Random Reflections) joining us as Guest Designer this month. You can see Karen's card and more from our fabulous DT at the CAS Mix Up blog.
I hope you will be inspired and join in the challenge!

                          Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! I love to read your comments:)

    Wow! Your loose watercoloring adds so much movement to that sweet bird. And the colors, perfection, not to mention the lovely sentiment. Makes me want to travel.
