Good morning...
I have a card to share that I am entering at
Normally I keep my colours pretty subdued, mostly greens and blues but this lovely weather has turned my head and today it's a bright watercolour done with Gansai Tambi paints
As a rule I prefer to paint on ordinary cardstock as it gives (to me anyway) a brighter finish and that's what I went with here... I lightly spray the CS first and then let the colours flow
I also use my heat gun both on the back and the front to keep it from curling - works for me anyway.
My paints have had a good work out this week Lol!
I hope you are enjoying your weekend, thanks for stopping by

Love this effect Ros....Bright and beautiful and thank you for letting us know how you did it...ordinary card stock, lightly spraying it and then afterwards heating the back and front to help it to stop curling. Sounds good to me, off to give that one a go....Thank you for the inspiration and what an eye catching and stunning CAS card x
