A Million & One Thanks!- FMS167

July 6, 2014

 Today is a quiet day at my house.  We had to clean out the garage before the painters come and I swear, my front porch looks like the Beverly Hillbillies live here.  Good day to hide out in my craft room after all that work this morning.  The trouble is, I am so tired, I really think a nap sounds fabulous!

 I hope your holiday weekend was wonderful and you were able to find time to do something your truly enjoy!

 The Friday Mashup Challenge intrigued me this week.  It calls for a "Watercolor Wash" and a CAS card.  CAS--clean and simple with minimal layers----Ohhhh that is a tough one for me.  I love lots of layers.  I have really wanted to try the watercolor thing for a while, so I bought some distress inks and played around for quite a while.  I absolutely loved it!  It was so fun!  I made several different sheets of background watercolored paper and chose this one because it looked fantastic with my favorite "Tempting Turquoise" paper.  I hope you will enjoy my card!

    Your inking on that background is simply gorgeous Claire! I think you've nailed the watercolor look.

    Claire, this is a wonderful watercolor technique card. The blended colors are so lovely and how clever to accent the butterflies with the colors! TFS with the Friday Mashup this week:)
