Hi everyone. Today is the launch of the CAS Watercolour September Challenge. Jenny (My Paper Epiphany) is our host this month and she has come up with a fantastic challenge ...
I started with a Lindy's magicals background that was in my stash. It's done with Witches Potion Purple ... there are so many different colours within this one powder --- LOVE IT!
I die-cut hollyhocks and watercoloured them in two shades of yellow distress inks. A white frame over top with a purple stamped sentiment finishes the card.
Close-up ...
