Fields of Pink!!

Just a quick post because I'm off to the dreaded dentist this morning :0(
I've made a card for the Paint challenge at CASology this week and I was inspired by this beautiful card on Pinterest..... not sure mine does it much justice though!!!


I used Distress ink pads 'smooshed' onto a craft sheet and spritzed with water for the background ..... I really love how random the end result is :0)
The flowers and stems are stamped in DI ink onto the re-dampened watercolour background so they bled a bit too and then more pink 'flicked on' to add distant flowers ...... they went a bit further than I wanted but hey it's art right!!!
Another happy accident is the speckled card for the sentiment..... when spritzing the craft sheet with water a fine mist of colour covers the surrounding area and this piece of card was in the line of fire, along with my white desk and a few tools too!!.... very pretty :0)

That's all from me today, thank goodness it's Friday :0)

    This is beautiful. And I think it is prettier then the card that inspired you. I love the colors you used and your "happy accident" on the sentiment.

    You more than did the other card justice, Jenny. This is gorgeous! Love the "smooched" background and the happy accident of the splatters on the sentiment strip! Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
    Hope the dentist didn't live up to the dread!

    Hi Jenny. This is so gorgeous. I have been looking at Virginia's View Watercolor Challenge, and marveling at all of the gorgeous work. This card is a beautiful example of the wonderful things you can do with watercolor. I love the colors and the splashes and the happy accidents. Just wonderful!
