Yesterday I created this panel for Splitcoaststamper's Watercolor Wednesday challenge number 2. You can find the challenge here. I joined late so I'm playing catch up.
The challenge was to watercolor using dye inks. I started out with Marigold Morning, Purely Pomegranate and Melon Mambo inks. I didn't realize how similar Melon Mambo and Purely Pomegranate are, especially once the inks are diluted a bit with water. They were too close in color for me so I added Eggplant Envy (remember that color?) over the pomegranate flower.
My panel was 5.5" wide, but only 4" high, so I needed to decide if I should cut it smaller or add to it. I decided to rotate my image to make a vertical card and add a black strip to the left. I was planning on using a pink card stock as the base, but I didn't really like it. I tried Marigold Morning and thought that was perfect. The sentiment from SU Honey Bee was perfect for this CAS card.
This card will be going to my sister in Ohio.
