CTS77, AAA3 - Happy Birthday!


Another take on AAA Card's Game 3 - where this card by Linda Beeson is our inspiration:



and also for this week's CAS(E) This Sketch challenge:





This colour scheme is one of my favourites - it's warm and fun and very vibrant. I used re inkers and a water brush to put drops onto a piece of acetate. I then spritzed the acetate with water and laid it on my watercolour paper panel. I finished the card with a MFT die and one black enamel dot.

  1. Cool watercolor technique. I like the bright colors with the bold black die cut sentiment.

  2. You did it Ardyth... you took the "plunge"... water on your card, and you did a fabulous job! The bold black just look awesome on the splashes of color.
    Thanks for playing at AAA cards!
