I've used a couple of sketch challenges and this first card is based on this weeks CAS(e) this Sketch....
I wanted to try the technique that Jennifer Mcguire used in the Clean and Simple 2 class but my watercolour pencils are not nearly vibrant enough so I watercoloured the canvas first and then stamped over the top of it, I really love that sentiment.... perfect for a non-slushy valentine :0).
I also dig that chunky brush, such a great shape to colour in.... guess I should have put colour on the bristles but we'll pretend it's been cleaned up :0)
I couldn't resist making this next card which loosely (hope it's accepted) fits in with Retro Sketches this week...
Right time to go find that craft desk again...it's quite small and it's surprising how making a couple of CAS cards creates a complete mess.... does anyone else find that or is it just me!!??
Thanks for your visit :0)

I love your little watercoloured easle - great take on the technique. I'm loving this class :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are both fabulous! Your colouring and 3Dness on the brush and the paint splat are so amazing! You really should be on the Paper Smooches DT you know.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, no matter how small or simple the card, the desk will always look like a hurricane has blown through!
Two lovely cards Jenny. The colouring on the brush handle is just right and much better than I would have done. I'm lucky enough to have a straight desk with a corner at the end and I still only have an A4 sized space to work in :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! I love each and every card. So creative!
ReplyDeleteI super LOVE your cards...that set is on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards!!!!!!! Love them both!!
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards Jenny love your designs always a bit different...
