Being a bit Arty for Bizzy Bec

Hello Peeps

I hope you are all virus free and hunkered down in the craft space creating up a storm. I am trying to get back into the swing of things after being denied access for so long but it is taking longer than I thought for my mojo to return!

However, I did some painting and made a card for 

 Bizzy Bec's April Challenge

Recently I got some watercolour pen's from an Australian Company call Uniquely Creative, and I decided to see if they could be used for more than just colouring in small images of flowers and such. I wanted to paint a w/c scene and I used a photo taken by my friend Glenda of a local beach.

I discovered that they are not good for this type of freehand drawing - or probably, they are not good for me. 

I taped down the w/c paper and wet it before starting to apply the pens but it ran and they did not work nicely together at all for colour. I think if I have applied them to a pallette first I might have achieved something more appealing but I did get a small painting and so used it to create a card. 

I did this by first stamping over the painting with my Darkroom Door Frame Stamp - Splattered.

I used Versafine Black ink for this and had to add black pen in places as it did not take totally.

I mounted it onto a green card and then added a strip of embossed Kraft.

Behind it I put a bright blue piece of card (SU Pacific Point) on which I had stamped using the 

Sentiment Stamp - Make Art and the V/mark ink. 

As usual my mounting is not straight!

A bit of fun 

I did this for Bizzy Bec's April Challenge

The winner of the challenge will receive:

While my w/c painting is a bit shite, I enjoyed just playing and then putting this together.
