Vintage Roses For AYSI...
January 19, 2024
It’s a new challenge at As You See It! It’s a color challenge to use melon mambo, crushed curry, granny apple green and mossy meadow.
I stamped and heat embossed in black before water coloring using the four required colors. This stamp lends itself to water coloring and I liked that I could soften the boldness of the colors.
I did some black speckles on the card and die cut with my deckled edges. Finally, I added some black rhinestones before adhering to the base.

Just beautiful, Jane - I LOVE the softened look of water painting, and what a great stamp for it! So striking layered over the black!

How pretty! Watercolouring really suits this set. I like the way you've made these strong colours so subtle - you've totally tamed them. :-)

That's so lovely Jane - I really love the soft tones you've used with the watercolouring!

Jane, this is one of my favourite cards that you've done lately! The toned down water coloured look is fabulous, especially paired with the embossed black! This is gorgeous!

This is just beautiful Jane and a great example of how this bold colour palette can be used in a much more subtle way. Those florals are so dreamy!
