GUEST DESIGNING CASOLOGY

Hello my dear lovely friends! How are you doing? :)

I'm super happy to share my CASology's guest designing project with you all. I've won one of their challenges (#334) way long back but couldn't find time to guest design. But yeah! finally I'm all set to share my project to the world. Thanks a ton to Melissa for her patience, I really really appreciate that. <3

So the cue word for today's challenge is 'Dragonfly'. I was very hesitant at first as I don't have any dragonfly stamps or die-cuts in my stash. 

Then I've gone through the dragonfly watercolor images over Pinterest and Google Images and came to a conclusion, yea! let's paint!!

Painting this dragonfly took me forever but I enjoyed the process. I'm a beginner and I will always be a beginner and I love being a beginner, you know! ;)

To add the magical feel to it, I added splatters of black, gold and silver paints. And I LOVE it! :D

I used Craftangles Liquid Watercolors and the sentiment is from Catherine Pooler Design's called You did it stamp set. 

I hope you like my little watercolor card. Have fun! ;)

CARD DETAILS

I started by masking the edges of the cards with washi tape then ink blended the backgrounds with Lucky Clover, Chipped Sapphire and Seedless Preserves distress inks with the help of an ink blending tool and foam. Then I placed the Marching Leaves stencil and applied the same inks to the respective cards. That creates a tone on tone background. Simple, right? ;)

I die-cut 'congrats' word die from Spot On Dies through Sizzix Sidekick Machine and adhered over the card front. Before adhering the word die I added splatters of black paint for the beautiful result. :)

I hope you like the cards. I'm entering this card for CAS on Sunday Challenge #163 - Use a die cut word(s) on you card. See you soon! :)
