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:

Thanksgiving Inspirations

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!

Sharing some fun news I just learned about.

There's a brand new card challenge, 'CasWatercolor', by

Loll Thompson and Bonnie Klass, from Cas Mix Up Challenge.

 I love to watercolor, and so glad it's such a hot and trendy technique 

to use on cards.

Watercolored and stamped die cut leaves from PTI's Leaf Prints.

I used Windsor Newton watercolors, from a tube, to get

the intense fiery colors on the leaves.

I stamped and watercolored a few leaves onto 3 1/2 x 4 1/2" watercolor card stock, using PTI's Simply Chartreuse & Olive Twist inks.

Flicked some Mr. Hueys white spray 

and Olive Twist over the stamped images.

Sentiment from PTI's Color Pop Autumn.

'Bountiful' white embossed, then inked with Liquitex Iridescent Bright Gold.

'Blessings': Olive Twist. (PTI)

Background card stock is a left over from a challenge.

1st stamped with PTI's Background Basics: Super Chevron,

then watercolored randomly and splattered with Harvest Gold ink.

Play along all during the month of October,

and this is a design team call until the 15th!
