Orange and Blue

Hi everyone.  It's already more than half way through the month, which means it's time for a reminder for the CAS Watercolour September Challenge - Complementary Colours, hosted by Jenny.  The challenge is open for just over a week, so hope you'll play along if you haven't had a chance yet.

  

I started by creating a smooshed background with Magicals (I LOVE THESE POWDERS!).  I die-cut a flower branch from mixed media paper and slooshed just the flowers with bright orange distress ink.  A simple sentiment stamped in matching orange finishes this very CAS design.

I hope you'll check out the challenge blog to see the reminder cards from our fabulous Guest Designer, Anita, along with the beautiful cards from our Designers.  Come join us for this fun challenge!

    Beautiful smooshed blue background to feature your lovely orange flowers, Loll. I need a lesson (or 10) to get gorgeous backgrounds like this with powder inks. xx

    I was going to write my comment, but your Magical background is so gorgeous that I had to check out the "Time Travel Teal" online first. Ok, now the Industrial Chic jar set is in my shopping cart, so I can relax and continue. :-P
    Did I say the Magical background is fabulous? It's perfect for bringing out the beauty of the orange little flowers. I like that you left the leaves and the stems uncolored.

    These complementary colours definitely work together. I love your Magicals too and the partially painted bloom die cut is so very smart and creative. A beautiful card.
