Hi everyone. Sharing another card made during the craft retreat. This technique is water stamping with distress stains. Susan (Cardmaker's Garret) led the "class", using Heather Telford's wonderful video tutorial.
I love the softness of the watercolouring, and am happy with my first try using this technique. I added some splatters and a sentiment to finish.
This is a reminder for the CAS Mix Up May Challenge - Splattering. There's still just over a week to play before it closes at end of day May 24th. Check out the reminder post (link above) to see more inspirational cards from our talented Design Team, and our wonderful Guest Designer, Elaine.
And since it is watercoloured flowers, I'm adding this to the CAS Watercolour May Challenge - Flowers gallery as well. Again, just over a week left to play along.

Your watercolouring with stains turned out so beautifully Loll. It was so fun watching you color and see your finished card IRL at our retreat! I will be posting my finished card (I added splatters too) in a few days. Still can't believe we were just together with Susan and Christine for 5 days :-)
Miss you...hugs...
What soft orange blossoms Loll. The spatter behind sets them off nicely, such a lovely design! Julia xx

This was one of my favorite cards, I just wish I could have found my stamp :), your watercolouring with stains looks wonderful.
So soft and beautiful! And great splatters! I just practiced on those in a card I made and the card ended up in the bin... :) I had all of them in just one area, not a good look! I hope you are well! xxx
This is beautiful Loll ..... pretty colours, and the stains have given a lovely soft effect xx

You did a beautiful job coloring your flowers and leaves with distress stains, Loll! I love the colors and your splatters are the perfect touch! Thanks for the link :)
This technique really makes it look like you painted the flowers! Very pretty!
Thats just simply gorgeous Loll! You can frame it as a beautiful painting.
Beautiful yellow flowers!
This card has a gentle movement in it. It has a gentle breeze in it as the particles of magical dust begin to circulate in the air ...
Yes, this card has magic in it, I love it.

Lovely blossoms with this technique, Loll. I'm glad you enjoyed it; it's one of my favourites.
