Hi there! It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Players #596! Our lovely hostess Jaydee has chosen a one layer CAS challenge for us this week. It's been a long time since I've made a truly one layer card. I came up with an idea that's a bit different. Hope you like it!
I've been playing around with some freehand loose watercoloring over this past year. Using strokes and blobs of color in a random fashion to create flowers and leaves in a bouquet using just paints and a paintbrush. I took one of my practice pages and decided to make it into today's card.
The only stamping is the lovely sentiment from Penny Black stamps. I am absolutely only a beginner - playing at the watercoloring, so just know that. It's fun to try something new! If you are at all interested in learning to paint, you must check out the videos by Dawn Woleslagle HERE.
Got covid last week and that was NO FUN! Still not over it and then there's more time to quarantine. I know I will be feeling better when I feel like stamping again! Hope you can find some crafty time and join us!
Stay well, friends!
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

Well, if that's your beginner watercoloring, I would be impressed to see what you do when you're more "expert", because this is GORGEOUS! You have nailed those flowers perfectly! Great colors and perfect sentiment!
This is just gorgeous!! Love your blooms!
Really? You did this freehand? I'm awestruck! It's so pretty and perfect! I'm awfully sorry you've had a hard time with your COVID infection. Some get a mild case, especially when fully vaccinated. I hope you feel better soon.
Cindy... this card is gorgeous! I can't believe you freehanded it! You are amazing. I will definitely check out the recommended videos. I so want to learn to watercolor. Thank you for sharing!
