Silver Fox


Playing along with Cas Watercolour Challenge, 
a new card challenge for all of us who love to watercolor.


This is my 2nd card, this time using a technique 
Kay Miller showed us here:


I embossed the fox from Kay's set: Stylized Autumn
in silver embossing powder,
directly onto watercolor paper.
Then masked him as I stamped the leaves around him,
rolling the ink in first one color then another.
I then dragged my wet brush all around the leaves.
The colors bleed out onto the paper, giving it a cool watercolor effect!
Then I stamped and did the technique onto flower and leaf die cuts 
from the same set.


I also added a bit of shading to the fox's eyes and ears.

Did I mention that this is the 1st challenge for this 
sister blog to Cas Mix Up Challenge? 
Now you know!

  3. Beautiful card Nancy...LOVE that silver fox! I had to have this set when it came out and since then I've used the leaves once, but nothing else in the set...NEED to rectify that after seeing this gorgeous card! I'm saying some extra prayers that you make the DT...this would be SO up your alley Nancy, and I just know you would have beautiful water colored cards to share and inspire!! :0)
