Hi everyone. The other day I saw THE most beautiful watercoloured card by my friend, Deepti. Not only is the card gorgeous, but the images are designed by Deepti (Dee's Artsy Impressions). I've had this set for a little while, but this is my first time inking it up. :)
After seeing Dee's card HERE, I had to give no-line watercolouring a try. I just did it on a small scrap of watercolour paper, thinking it would just be a practice piece and be tossed afterwards. But I was really happy with how my first attempt turned out, so made it into a card. :) Thanks Deepti for the wonderful inspiration!
I'm going to drop by Snippets Playground since I used a small snippet of watercolour paper for this card. Di and the gang are celebrating the 200th challenge! Congrats!
Also, this reminds me of this week's Muse card #139 - Tracey McNeely, so I'm entering there as well. And Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is Anything Goes.
In a personal note, life continues with it's challenges for our family. Hubby has to have surgery this Friday. Luckily it's only day surgery, but he has a lot of health issues, so any time is he under general anesthesia, it's a concern. I would appreciate any good thoughts you'll send his way. Thank you!
Thanks for dropping by!

Beautiful water-coloured card. Love the layout on the small square, works really well and so glad you didn't bin it! Hope all goes well on Friday as this must be a real worrying time x
A beautiful watercolour card Loll, I do love the softness achieved with this technique. Sending good wishes to hubby too and hope all goes well on Friday. Carol x

This is beautiful, Loll :)

This is gorgeous! Your watercoloring is beautiful. Prayers for your hubby.
Beautiful coloring, Loll. I had a similar experience with a practice piece - turned out better than I planned. Prayers for your husband, and for you, too.
No line watercoloring is on my to do list for a new technique...for me! Now it is high on my list Loll after seeing your gorgeous card. I had already seen Dee's card and commented and.....I have her beautiful set. TFS Loll and always inspiring all of us. Will keep Gord and you in my thoughts on Friday. With Love, Nancy
Your card is beautiful, but all your cards are beautiful. Best wishes to hubby (and you) for successful surgery and a quick and easy recovery.
Fabulous no-line watercoloring, Loll! Each time I see a card with that set...I want it more...I see more shopping in my future...thanks :) Seriously gorgeous card! Will be thinking of you both on Friday...take care!
This is something I am really bad at no matter what I do. You look like an expert on your first go! Beautiful card xx
I'm not at all surprised that your first attempt at no-line watercoloring turned out as perfectly as this, Lolly! You are so talented! And it is wonderful to see you joining in the fun over at the Playground! The parties have been full-on blasts this week!! Hugs, Dolly
Gorgeous no line coloring!!
Your practice piece was definitely worth turning into a card - it's fabulous. I've tried no-line colouring and it didn't turn out at all well!
Your first attempt at no line water coloring has turned out to be perfect! Gorgeous card Loll! :)
